„For me it is not dubious that our thinking goes on for the most part without use of signs (words) and beyond that to a considerable degree unconsciously. For how, otherwise, should it happen that sometimes we "wonder" quite spontaneously about some experience? This "wondering" seems to occur when an experience comes into conflict with a world of concepts which is already sufficiently fixed in us. Whenever such a conflict is experienced hard and intensively it reacts back upon our thought world in a decisive way. The development of this thought world is in a certain sense a continuous flight from "wonder."“
— Albert Einstein
„When we come to itWe must confess that we are the possibleWe are the miraculous, the true wonders of this worldThat is when, and only whenWe come to it.“

„There is the world that should be and the world that is. We live in one and must create the other.“
