"The scientific picture of the world is very successful, but it is incomplete. It leaves out something essential, something that is very close to us, namely, our own consciousness."

"The scientist's world-picture is of course not the only possible one. It is not even a complete one. It is just one, an important one, but it is not the whole truth."

"I am a physicist, not a philosopher. But I cannot help but think about these things."

"The scientist only imposes the laws of nature on nature."

"Quantum mechanics is a wonderful theory. But it is not the last word."
