Oh What Idiots We Have All Been,

We Depend On Our Words... Our Task Is To Communicate Experience And Ideas To Others. We Must Strive Continually To Extend The Scope Of Our Description, But In Such A Way That Our Messages Do Not Thereby Lose Their Objective Or Unambiguous Character... We Are Suspended In Language In Such A Way That We Cannot Say What Is Up And What Is Down. The Word "reality" Is Also A Word, A Word Which We Must Learn To Use Correctly.

Anybody Who Is Not Shocked By This Subject Has Failed To Understand It. [of Quantum Mechanics]

Anyone Not Shocked By Quantum Mechanics Has Not Yet Understood It.

Sometimes The Child In One Behaves A Certain Way And The Rest Of Oneself Follows Behind, Slowly Shaking Its Head.

The Great Extension Of Our Experience In Recent Years Has Brought Light To The Insufficiency Of Our Simple Mechanical Conceptions And, As A Consequence, Has Shaken The Foundation On Which The Customary Interpretation Of Observation Was Based.
