Book Preview:

#1 Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives. It is the process of creating something new and interesting, and it is often the result of many sources working together to create something new and interesting.

#2 The joy of research is that it takes a lot of courage. You invest a lot of yourself in your work, and nothing may come of it. You could spend five years working on a problem and it could be wrong before you are done.

#3 I had studied and measured hundreds of galaxies, and I had found that some of them had very interesting central properties. I decided to write a paper on fourteen of them, and one of them was especially interesting.

#4 The story of how scientists discovered the order in the universe is one of the greatest examples of how learning for its own sake can be rewarding.
