The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious—the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
The World As I See It (2006), 7.
The subject matter of the scientist is a crowd of natural events at all times; he presupposes that this crowd is not real but apparent, and seeks to discover the true place of events in the system of nature. The subject matter of the poet is a crowd of historical occasions of feeling recollected from the past; he presupposes that this crowd is real but should not be, and seeks to transform it into a community. Both science and art are primarily spiritual activities, whatever practical applications may be derived from their results. Disorder, lack of meaning, are spiritual not physical discomforts, order and sense spiritual not physical satisfactions.
The Dyer's Hand and Other Essays (1965), 66.

<'The Poet and the City' (1962), in the collection The Dyer's Hand and Other Essays (1965), 81.

In James Wood, Dictionary of Quotations from Ancient and Modern, English and Foreign Sources (1893), 473:44.
What Art was to the ancient world, Science is to the modern: the distinctive faculty. In the minds of men the useful has succeeded to the beautiful. Instead of the city of the Violet Crown, a Lancashire village has expanded into a mighty region of factories and warehouses. Yet, rightly understood, Manchester is as great a human exploit; as Athens.
Coningsby or The New Generation (1844), Vol. 2, Book 4, Ch.1, 2.
