The natural scientist is concerned with a particular kind of phenomena ... he has to confine himself to that which is reproducible ... I do not claim that the reproducible by itself is more important than the unique. But I… — Wolfgang Pauli Copy Share Image
Modern man, seeking a middle position in the evaluation of sense impression and thought, can, following Plato , interpret the process of understanding nature as a correspondence, that is, a coming into congruence of pre-existing images of the human psyche with external objects and their behaviour.

When one analyzes the pre-conscious step to concepts, one always finds ideas which consist of 'symbolic images.' The first step to thinking is a… — Wolfgang Pauli Copy Share Image
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… — Wolfgang Pauli Copy Share Image
The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level. — Wolfgang Pauli Copy Share Image
