If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.

Quantum science suggests the existence of many possible futures for each moment of our lives. Each future lies in a state of rest until it is awakened by choices made in the present.

What quantum physics teaches us is that everything we thought was physical is not physical.

Observations not only disturb what is to be measured, they produce it.

Beliefs, and the feelings that we have about them, are the language that "speaks" to the quantum stuff that makes our realty.

In a quantum universe, magic is not the exception but the rule.

It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness.

When things get tough, there are two things that make life worth living: Mozart, and quantum mechanics

Our brains are too slow to register that every concrete object is winking in and out of existence at the quantum level thousands of times per second.

The quantum is that embarrassing little piece of thread that always hangs from the sweater of space-time. Pull it and the whole thing unravels.

When you think about the complexity of our natural world - plants using quantum mechanics for photosynthesis, for example - a smartphone begins to look like a pretty dumb object.

Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand.

If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.

If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it.

[The Many-worlds interpretation is the] only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the world.

Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only speak of it in images and parables.

If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.

Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting.

The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality.

When His Holiness won the Nobel Peace Prize, there was a quantum leap. He is not seen as solely a Tibetan anymore; he belongs to the world.

When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum jump.

All the quantum physics experiments have occurred chiefly on the atomic scale and we are taught to believe that nature's laws are consistent.

The possibilities that are suggested in quantum physics tell us that everything that we're looking at may not be in fact there, so the underlying nature of being is weird.

For many years quantum physics had been giving indications that there are levels of reality other than the material level.

Almost everything we'll ever do in life that is really powerful, that really produces a result in our lives, that quantum-leaps us to a new level... requires us to do something uncomfortable.

The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.

In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve.

It is hard to see how one could begin to develop a quantum-theoretical description of brain action when one might well have to regard the brain as "observing itself" all the time!

Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense.
