"the universe is a sphere in which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere"
... I forget who said it, though.

Not my favorite quotes, but I want to note them down in case of people bringing up that old quote of Einstein's: "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
Einstein to Marcel Grossman: "I have become imbued with great respect for mathematics, the more subtle parts of which I had previously regarded as sheer luxury."
Also, Einstein: "We may in fact regard [geometry] as the most ancient branch of physics. Without it I would have been unable to formulate the theory of relativity."

"The original science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today. But the core of science fiction is an essence that has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

Albert Einstein said, "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind."
Also, Isaac Newton said, "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

"grabbing what you can get isn’t any less wicked when you grab it with the power of your brains than with the power of your fists"
No clue where it's from.
