We all know your idea is crazy. The question is whether it is crazy enough.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

All rising curves that show u...

All rising curves that show unwelcome trends in human affairs will approach infinity if extended far enough, but it is we who dictate the curve and not vice versa.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

A person who wasn't outraged on first hearing about quantum theory didn't understand what had been said.

If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

What is that we human beings ...

What is that we human beings ultimately depend on? We depend on our words. We are suspended in language. Our task is to communicate experience and ideas to others.

A visitor to Niels Bohr's country cottage, noticing a horseshoe hanging on the wall, teasing the eminent scientist about this ancient superstition. "Can it be true that you, of all people, believe it will bring you luck?'
'Of course not,' replied Bohr, 'but I understand it brings you luck whether you believe it or not.'

Prediction is difficult, especially the future.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

Humanity will... be confronted with dangers of unprecedented character unless, in due time, measures can be taken to forestall a disastrous competition in such formidable armaments and to establish an international control of the manufacture and use of the powerful materials.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

We depend on our words... Our task is to communicate experience and ideas to others. We must strive continually to extend the scope of our description, but in such a way that our messages do not thereby lose their objective or unambiguous character... We are suspended in language in such a way that we cannot say what is up and what is down. The word "reality" is also a word, a word which we must learn to use correctly.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

Accuracy and clarity of state...

Accuracy and clarity of statement are mutually exclusive.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.
