In the great drama of existence we are audience and actors at the same time.
Niels Bohr
Image
Physics is the belief that a simple and consistent description of nature is possible.
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

Nothing exists until it is measured.
Niels Bohr
Image
In physics we deal with states of affairs much simpler than those of psychology and yet we again and again learn that our task is not to investigate the essence of things-we do not at all know what this would mean&mashbut to develop those concepts that allow us to speak with each other about the events of nature in a fruitful manner.
Niels Bohr

If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.
Niels Bohr
Image
An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.
Niels Bohr
Image
It is the hallmark of any deep truth that its negation is also a deep truth.
Niels Bohr
