Wolfgang Pauli quotes
The fact of the existence of two theories [causal and acausal] that contradict each other in Jung ... corresponds psychologically to the vascillation between 3 and 4.
Wolfgang Pauli
One shouldn't work on semiconductors, that is a filthy mess; who knows whether any semiconductors exist.
Wolfgang Pauli
The layman always means, when he says "reality" that he is speaking of something self-evidently known; whereas to me it seems the most important and exceedingly difficult task of our time is to work on the construction of a new idea of reality.
Wolfgang Pauli
I cannot believe God is a weak left-hander.
Wolfgang Pauli
I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected.
Wolfgang Pauli
It is always the older that emanates the new one.
Wolfgang Pauli
The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.
Wolfgang Pauli
God made the bulk; surfaces were invented by the devil.
Wolfgang Pauli
This is to show the world that I can paint like Titian. [A big drawing of a rectangle] Only technical details are missing.
Wolfgang Pauli
I don't mind your thinking slowly; I mind your publishing faster than you think.
Wolfgang Pauli
There is no God and Dirac is his Prophet.
Wolfgang Pauli
When I was young, I thought I was the best formalist of my time. I thought I was a revolutionary. When the big problems would come, I would solve them and write about them. The big problems came and passed by, others solved them and wrote about them. I was a classicist and not a revolutionary.
Wolfgang Pauli
The setup of the book as far as printing and paper are concerned is splendid.
Wolfgang Pauli
Already in my original paper I stressed the circumstance that I was unable to give a logical reason for the exclusion principle or to deduce it from more general assumptions. I had always the feeling, and I still have it today, that this is a deficiency.
Wolfgang Pauli
Both of us [seem] to agree that the future of Jung's ideas is not with [psycho-] therapy... but with a unitarian, holistic concept of nature and the position of man in it.
Wolfgang Pauli
The designation "Jungian Psychology" is actually already unscientific sectarianism. I only acknowledge C. G. Jung's contribution to the general psychology of the unconscious.
Wolfgang Pauli
Against all the retrogressive endeavors (Bohm, Schrödinger etc. and in some sense also Einstein) I am sure that the statistical character of the ψ-function and hence of nature's laws – on which you insisted from the very beginning against Schrödinger's resistance – will define the style of the laws at least for some centuries. It may be that later, e. g. in connection with the living processes, one will find something entirely new, but to dream of a way back, back to the classical style of Newton-Maxwell (and these are just dreams these gentlemen are giving themselves up to) seems to me hopeless, digressive, bad taste. And, we could add, it is not even a beautiful dream.
Wolfgang Pauli
The purely psychological interpretation only apprehends half of the matter. The other half is the revealing of the archetypal basis of the terms actually applied in modern physics.
Wolfgang Pauli
All we can observe is their effect on other living people, whose spiritual level and whose personal unconscious crucially influence the way these contents actually manifest themselves.
Wolfgang Pauli
When one analyzes the pre-conscious step to concepts, one always finds ideas which consist of "symbolic images."
Wolfgang Pauli
It seems significant that according to quantum physics the indestructibility of energy on one hand - which expresses its timeless existence - and the appearance of energy in space and time on the other hand correspond to two contradictory (complementary) aspects of reality.
Wolfgang Pauli
This is to show the world that I can paint like Titian.
