Kenneth Branagh
A line from Niels Bohr

We have to make the politicians understand: this isn’t a new weapon, it’s a new world. I’ll be out there, doing what I can, but you.. you’re an American Prometheus - the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves - and they’ll respect that. Then, the work really begins.

Niels Bohr

Quantum physics is not a step forward; it is a new way to understand reality. Einstein's opened the door, [and] now we are seeing a world inside of our world; a world of energy and paradox that not everyone can accept.

Niels Bohr

Algebra is like sheet music. The important thing isn't, "can you read music," it's "can you hear it."

Niels Bohr

The power you are about to reveal will forever outlive the Nazis, and the world is not prepared.
