It is difficult to describe in short the enthusiasm and devotion provoked by and given to my research. We lived almost in poverty. I used pencils, two for a nickel, and could not buy a fountain pen, when I lost mine.
Immanuel Velikovsky

Immanuel Velikovsky

Immanuel Velikovsky

My first name - I have no middle name - was chosen by my father, as he told me, on that solitary walk in the forested hills. He selected it from a verse of the seventh chapter of Isaiah; there was no Immanuel among our ancestors known to him.
Immanuel Velikovsky

On the day I was born, or possibly on one of the following days, my father went on a walk in the forested hills and thought of a name for me. His first son was called Daniel, and Samuel in memory of one of his forefathers.
Immanuel Velikovsky

Immanuel Velikovsky

When my father reached the age of fourteen or fifteen, he heard the unseen horizon's call, and felt an urge to seek greater goals.
Immanuel Velikovsky
