Quote

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.

More quotes by Erwin Schrodinger

Image
Every man's world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind and cannot be proved to have any other existence.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The plurality that we perceive is only an appearance it is not real. Vedantic philosophy... has sought to clarify it by a number of analogies, one of the most attractive being the many-faceted crystal which, while showing hundreds of little pictures of what is in reality a single existent object, does not really multiply that object.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The organism feeds on negative entropy.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space.
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.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now the present is the only thing that has no end.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
I insist upon the view that 'all is waves'.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Our mind, by virtue of a certain finite, limited capability, is by no means capable of putting a question to Nature that permits a continuous series of answers. The observations, the individual results of measurements, are the answers of Nature to our discontinuous questioning.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If you cannot - in the long run - tell everyone what you have been doing, your doing has been worthless.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If we are going t stick to this damned quantum-jumping, then I regret that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
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
Image
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.
Erwin Schrodinger

The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
