We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.

    Said to Wolfgang Pauli after his presentation of Heisenberg’s and Pauli’s nonlinear field theory of elementary particles, at Columbia University (1958), as quoted in Symposium on Basic Research (1959) by Dael Lee Wolfle, p. 66
   
   
Your theory is crazy, but it’s not crazy enough to be true.

— Niels Bohr
