More quotes by Niels Bohr
In the great drama of existence we are audience and actors at the same time.
Niels Bohr
Physics is the belief that a simple and consistent description of nature is possible.
Niels Bohr
Truth and clarity are complementary.
Niels Bohr
It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we say about nature.
Niels Bohr
There is no hope for any speculation that does not look absurd at first glance.
Niels Bohr
The opposite of every great idea is another great idea.
Niels Bohr
An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.
Niels Bohr
You must come to Copenhagen to work with us. We like people who can actually perform thought experiments!
Niels Bohr
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
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
Some subjects are so serious that one can only joke about them.
Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr
I go into the Upanishads to ask questions.
Niels Bohr
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.
Niels Bohr
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.'
Niels Bohr
Accuracy and clarity of statement are mutually exclusive.
Niels Bohr
When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.
Niels Bohr
How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.
Niels Bohr
Opposites are not contradictory but complementary.
Niels Bohr
The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning.
Niels Bohr
