In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined. — David Bohm
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet. — Niels Bohr
If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them. — Niels Bohr
The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry. — Brandon Boyd
Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests… — John Cleese
Bertrand Russell had given a talk on the then new quantum mechanics, of whose wonders he was most appreciative. He spoke hard and earnestly in… — J. Robert Oppenheimer
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… — Fritjof Capra
Beliefs, and the feelings that we have about them, are the language that "speaks" to the quantum stuff that makes our realty. — Gregg Braden
We are thankful for good-will rather than for services, for the motive than the quantum of favor received. — William Hazlitt

Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it. — Niels Bohr
It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems more… — Werner Heisenberg
What really matters for me is ... the more active role of the observer in quantum physics ... According to quantum physics the observer has… — Wolfgang Pauli
You believe in the God who plays dice, and I in complete law and order in a world that objectively exists, and which I, in… — Albert Einstein
The words are strung together, with their own special grammar-the laws of quantum theory-to form sentences, which are molecules. Soon we have books, entire libraries,… — Heinz Pagels
I cannot seriously believe in it [quantum theory] because the theory cannot be reconciled with the idea that physics should represent a reality in time… — Albert Einstein
The playfulness that I talk about comes very slowly. You cannot just jump out of your seriousness which you have accumulated for lives. Now it… — Rajneesh
Surrender is the quantum leap from mind to no-mind, from ego to egolessness. And in a single step the whole journey is contained. It is… — Rajneesh
It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before me ... At… — Werner Heisenberg
