14. We 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
15. 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
16. In our description of nature the purpose is not to disclose the real essence of the phenomena but only to track down, as far as possible, relations between the manifold aspects of our experience. ― Niels Bohr
17. Physics is not about how the world is, it is about what we can say about the world. ― Niels Bohr
18. The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness. ― Niels Bohr
19. The very nature of quantum theory forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union of which characterizes the classical theories, as complementary but exclusive features of the description, symbolizing the idealization of observation and description, respectively. ― Niels Bohr

20. It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart. ― Suzanne Collins
21. I myself find the division of the world into an objective and a subjective side much too arbitrary.
