The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.

The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.

For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice.

I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.

Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.

What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space.

An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.

A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement.
