Quotes from the same author

Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.
 Niels Bohr
When asked ... [about] an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, 'There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about Nature.'
 Niels Bohr

 Niels Bohr
