You know, what Einstein has just said isn't so stupid.
Wolfgang Pauli
Everything comes to him who knows how to wait.
Wolfgang Pauli
This is to show the world that I can paint like Titian. [A big drawing of a rectangle] Only technical details are missing.
Wolfgang Pauli
This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
One shouldn't work on semiconductors, that is a filthy mess who knows whether any semiconductors exist.
Wolfgang Pauli
Later, however, I came to recognize the objective nature of these dreams or fantasies ... Thus it was that I gradually came to acknowledge that such fantasies or dreams are neither meaningless nor purely arbitrary but rather convey a sort of second meaning of the terms applied.
Wolfgang Pauli
It is always the older that emanates the new one.
Wolfgang Pauli
If speculative ideas can not be tested, they're not science they don't even rise to the level of being wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
It is not only not right, it is not even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
It isn't right. It isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers n, k1, k2 and m are the same. If an electron is present, for which these quantum numbers (in an external field) have definite values, then this state is 'occupied.'
Wolfgang Pauli
If I understand Dirac correctly, his meaning is this: there is no God, and Dirac is his Prophet.
Wolfgang Pauli
I confess, that very different from you, I do find sometimes scientific inspiration in mysticism ... but this is counterbalanced by an immediate sense for mathematics.
Wolfgang Pauli
That's not right. That's not even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
How can one avoid despondency if one thinks of the anomalous Zeeman effect?
Wolfgang Pauli
I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected.
Wolfgang Pauli
After reading a paper by a young theoretical scientist, Pauli, shaking his head sadly, commented: That is not even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
A colleague who met me strolling rather aimlessly in the beautiful streets of Copenhagen said to me in a friendly manner, You look very unhappy whereupon I answered fiercely, How can one look happy when he is thinking about the anomalous Zeeman effect?.
Wolfgang Pauli
God made the bulk the surface was invented by the devil.
Wolfgang Pauli
The layman always means, when he says reality that he is speaking of something self-evidently known whereas to me it seems the most important and exceedingly difficult task of our time is to work on the construction of a new idea of reality.
Wolfgang Pauli
