“The belief that there is only one truth and that oneself is in possession of it seems to me the root of all the evil that is in the world”
Max Born

“I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actual philosophy.”
Max Born

“There are two objectionable types of believers: those who believe the far-fetched, and those who believe that 'belief' must be discarded and replaced by the 'scientific method.' Between these two extremes there is enough scope for believing the reasonable and reasoning on sound beliefs.”
Max Born, Natural Philosophy of Cause and Chance
