Erwin Schrodinger

The world is a mystery, and the more we learn, the more mysterious it becomes.

The world is a journey, and we are the travelers.

The world is a canvas, and we are the artists.

The only possible interpretation of quantum theory is that there are no particles.

The world is not something that exists independently of us. It is something that we create.

The human mind is a universe in itself.

The world is a song, and we are the singers.

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, because that barrier does not exist.

If you ask a theoretical physicist today, ‘What is an electron?’ he will probably say, ‘It is a symbol in the wave equation.’ We have got so far from the concrete picture of nature.

The first thing to say is that of course I don't believe in the existence of 'my' cat, or 'your' cat, or 'the' cat. There is only one cat, which is the cat of the universe. And it's not even a cat, it's a wave function.

The great difficulty for our contemporary way of thinking is that we must recognize the identity of the experiencing and the experienced subject.

The idea that there is a 'mind' or 'consciousness' that is separate from the physical world is a delusion. It is a product of our language and our limited way of thinking.

The human body is an organism that maintains its state far removed from thermodynamic equilibrium, and it does so by continually drawing 'order' from its environment.

Consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown; that there is only one thing and that what seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this one thing.

It is a rather disheartening experience to be told that the exact solution of the wave equation will in the end be the solution of the wave equation of one single atom, and that for an aggregate of atoms, the exact solution is out of reach.

The number of children born from educated parents is much too small.

I consider science to be an integral part of our endeavour to answer the one great philosophical question which embraces all others, the one that has puzzled man from earliest times: Who are we? What are we?

The quantum theory is an 'unpleasant' theory, which I should have liked to assume to be true only if I were forced to do so by the facts.

We are thus faced with the following dilemma: either the organism is a purely statistical system, and then it is certainly not a quantum mechanical system, or it is a quantum mechanical system, and then it is certainly not a statistical system.

The world is a construct of our sensations, perceptions, memories. It is convenient to regard it as existing objectively. But it is not a logical necessity.
