Niels Bohr
Oh what idiots we have all been, this is just as it must be
Niels Bohr
How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.
Niels Bohr
Truth and clarity are complementary.
Niels Bohr
Opposites are not contradictory but complementary.
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
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
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.
Niels Bohr
Einstein, stop telling God what to do!
Niels Bohr
You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.

Our task is not to penetrate the essence of things, the meaning of which we do not know anyway, but rather to develop concepts which allow us to talk in a productive way about phenomena in nature
Niels Bohr
If we couldn't laugh at ourselves, that would be the end of everything.
Niels Bohr
We are trapped by language to such a degree that every attempt to formulate insight is a play on words.
Niels Bohr
A physicist visits a colleague and notices a horseshoe hanging on the wall above the entrance. 'Do you really believe that a horseshoe brings luck?' he asks. 'No,' replies the colleague, 'but I've been told that it works even if you don't believe in it.'
Niels Bohr
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
Niels Bohr
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.
Niels Bohr
Predictions are hard, especially abot the future.
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
