More quotes by Niels Bohr
No, no, you're not thinking you're just being logical.
Niels Bohr
Address to Albert Einstein: You are not thinking. You are merely being logical.
Niels Bohr
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.
Niels Bohr
No paradox, no progress.
Niels Bohr
Nothing exists until it is measured.
Niels Bohr
If you have a correct statement, then the opposite of a correct statement is of course an incorrect statement, a wrong statement. But when you have a deep truth, then the opposite of a deep truth may again be a deep truth.
Niels Bohr
Truth and clarity are complementary.
Niels Bohr
You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.
Niels Bohr
Anybody who is not shocked by this subject has failed to understand it. [of quantum mechanics]
Niels Bohr
Some subjects are so serious that one can only joke about them.
Niels Bohr
In the great drama of existence we are audience and actors at the same time.
Niels Bohr
The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning.
Niels Bohr
Rutherford is a man you can rely on he comes regularly and enquires how things are going and talks about the smallest details - Rutherford is such an outstanding man and really interested in the work of all the people around him.
Niels Bohr
It is the hallmark of any deep truth that its negation is also a deep truth.
Niels Bohr
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 and establishing mental connections.
Niels Bohr
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.
Niels Bohr
There are some things so serious you have to laugh at them.
Niels Bohr
The measurement we get when we measure something is not a property of the thing measured.
Niels Bohr
Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
Niels Bohr
Einstein, stop telling God what to do!
Niels Bohr
