If I understand Dirac correctly, his meaning is this: there is no God, and Dirac is his Prophet.

— Wolfgang Pauli

Well, our friend Dirac, too, has a religion, and its guiding principle is "God does not exist and Dirac is His prophet."

— Wolfgang Pauli

In the 1920s the young English physicist Paul Dirac began trying to understand and describe the space-time evolution of the electron, the first elementary…

Dirac politely refused Robert's [Robert Oppenheimer] two proffered books: reading books, the Cambridge theoretician announced gravely, "interfered with thought."

— Luis Walter Alvarez

“Our friend Dirac has a creed; and the main tenet of that creed is: There is no God, and Dirac is his prophet.”

— Wolfgang Pauli

“The strength of the familiar electromagnetic force between two electrons, for example, is expressed in physics in terms of a constant known as the…

In his 1930 book, Dirac took for granted that measurements could be made, but was very vague about what was actually involved.
