If we were bees, ants, or Lacedaemonian| warriors, to whom personal fear does not exist and cowardice is the most shameful thing in the world, warring would go on forever. But luckily we are only men — and cowards.
Erwin Schrodinger

An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
We must not wait for things to come, believing that they are decided by irrescindable destiny. If we want it, we must do something about it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.
Erwin Schrodinger

If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The total number of minds in the universe is one.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice.

The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
No self is of itself alone. It has a long chain of intellectual ancestors. The I is chained to ancestry by many factors ... This is not mere allegory, but an eternal memory.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the way.

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one.
Erwin Schrodinger

The task is not to see what has never been seen before, but to think what has never been thought before about what you see everyday.
Erwin Schrodinger

Matter and energy seem granular in structure, and so does “life”, but not so mind.
Erwin Schrodinger

Every man's world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind and cannot be proved to have any other existence.
