How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress Picture Quote #1

Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it Picture Quote #1

In our description of nature the purpose is not to disclose the real essence of the phenomena but only to track down, so far as it is possible, relations between the manifold aspects of our experience Picture Quote #1

One thought spectra are marvellous, but it is not possible to make progress there. Just as if you have the wing of a butterfly then certainly it is very regular with the colors and so on, but nobody thought one could get the basis of biology from the coloring of the wing of a butterfly Picture Quote #1

Truth is something that we can attempt to doubt, and then perhaps, after much exertion, discover that part of the doubt is not justified Picture Quote #1
