Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited. (Albert Einstein)
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist. (Oscar Wilde)
There are trivial truths and big truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is wrong. The opposite of a big truth is true as well. (Niels Bohr)
In science, you try to say something no one knew before in a way that everyone understands. In poetry you do the exact opposite. (Paul Dirac)
We believe that no race can be truly intelligent without laughter. (Delenn, Babylon 5: A Race Through Dark Places)
(I had the quotes from Einstein, Bohr and Dirac in my collection in the German versions, the translations are by me; PM me if you'd like to have the original versions.)

G'Kar: I find I'm actually looking forward to seeing the universe with you alongside, Lyta. Perhaps we'll find something extraordinary. Perhaps something extraordinary will find us. Either way, it's going to be quite an adventure.
Lyta: I smell another book coming.
G'Kar: What a wonderful idea.
-- G'Kar and Lyta Alexander in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"
