Думи на Wolfgang Pauli
"... the mathematician plays a gamein which he himself invents the rules
while the physicist plays a game
in which the rules are provided by Nature,
but as time goes on it becomes
increasingly evident that the rules
which the mathematician finds interesting
are the same as those which Nature has chosen"
"I would like it, if it were not so ugly"
Paul Dirac
