“There is no hope for any speculation that does not look absurd at first glance.”

The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.

If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.

If we couldn’t laugh at ourselves, that would be the end of everything.

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.

Physics is the belief that a simple and consistent description of nature is possible.

Some subjects are so serious that one can only joke about them.

Sometimes the child in one behaves a certain way and the rest of oneself follows behind, slowly shaking its head.

It is, indeed, perhaps the greatest prospect of humanistic studies to contribute through an increasing knowledge of the history of cultural development to that gradual removal of prejudices which is the common aim of all science.

We all know your idea is crazy. The question is whether it is crazy enough.

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections.

Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we say about nature.

If you aren’t confused by quantum mechanics, you haven’t really understood it.

Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for what he must aim at is to make things better than they are.

And anyone who thinks they can talk about quantum theory without feeling dizzy hasn’t yet understood the first thing about it.

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don’t know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I’m sure.

I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

You know how in football, guys throw defenses, and the defense throws you a look, but the look is not really what it is – it’s only made to fool you. It’s the same thing with drugs. The drug is only an illusion to draw you in.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day.

Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.

I have good legs, and why to hide them?

I’m camouflaged well in this Valentino camo.
