Quotes by Niels Bohr

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.

An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes, which can be made, in a very narrow field.

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.

There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.

Einstein, stop telling God what to do!

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.

Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.

No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical.
