To say that prediction is the purpose of a scientific theory is to confuse means with ends.

You don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘You can't do a thing’.

Many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.
