Additional quotes by Henri Poincaré

Doubting everything and believing everything are two equally convenient solutions that guard us from having to think.

La pensée ne doit jamais se soumettre, ni à un dogme, ni à un parti, ni à une passion, ni à un intérêt, ni à une idée préconçue, ni à quoi que ce soit, si ce n'est aux faits eux-mêmes, parce que, pour elle, se soumettre, ce serait cesser d'être.

C'est par la logique qu'on démontre, c'est par l'intuition qu'on invente.

It follows from this that sight and touch could not have given us the notion of space without the aid of the 'muscular sense. - Henri Poincaré
