" "A star is drawing on some vast reservoir of energy by means unknown to us. This reservoir can scarcely be other than the sub-atomic energy which, it is known, exists abundantly in all matter; we sometimes dream that man will one day learn to release it and use it for his service. The store is well-nigh inexhaustible, if only it could be tapped.

Additional quotes by Arthur Eddington
When I portrayed myself as a worm, you were surprised that I included by boyhood and old age. But to think of a man without his duration is just as abstract as to think of a man without his inside. The four-dimensional worms introduced in this chapter seem to many people terribly abstract. Not at all; they are unfamiliar conceptions but not abstract conceptions. It is the section of the worm (the man Now) which is an abstraction. The non-abstract man enduring through time is the common source from which the different abstractions are made.
