Erwin Schrodinger Quotes
We do not belong to this material world that science constructs for us. We are not in it; we are outside. We are only spectators.

Not only my own body, but those of my friends, also of my dog and cat and horse, and of all the other people and animals. And this is my only means of communicating with them.
