Quotes by P.A.M. Dirac  (?)

“A physical constant in quantum mechanics may thus be looked upon either as an observable with a single eigenvalue or as a mere number appearing in the equations, the two points of view being equivalent.”
― P.A.M. Dirac, The Principles of Quantum Mechanics

“...How then do they manage with these incorrect equations? These equations
lead to infinities when one tries to solve them; these infinities ought not to be there.
They remove them artificially. ... Just because the results happen to be in agree-
agreement with observations does not prove that one's theory is correct. After all, the
Bohr theory [of the hydrogen atom] was correct in simple cases. It gave very good
answers, but still the Bohr theory had very wrong concepts.”
― P.A.M. Dirac
