More quotes by Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr
It is very difficult to make an accurate prediction, especially about the future.
Niels Bohr
Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.
Niels Bohr
Opposites are not contradictory but complementary.
Niels Bohr
A deep truth is a truth so deep that not only is it true but it's exact opposite is also true.
Niels Bohr
Address to Albert Einstein: You are not thinking. You are merely being logical.
Niels Bohr
It is, indeed, perhaps the greatest prospect of humanistic studies to contribute through an increasing knowledge of the history of cultural development to that gradual removal of prejudices which is the common aim of all science.
Niels Bohr
Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
Niels Bohr
Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.
Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
Niels Bohr
Oh what idiots we have all been, this is just as it must be
Niels Bohr
Predition is risky, especially of the future.
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
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
