“As far as I remember these discussions took place in Copenhagen around September 1926 and in particular they left me with a very strong impression of Bohr's personality. For though Bohr was an unusually considerate and obliging person, he was able in such a discussion, which concerned epistemological problems which he considered to be of vital importance, to insist fanatically and with almost terrifying relentlessness on complete clarity in all arguments. He would not give up, even after hours of struggling, before Schrödinger had admitted that this interpretation was insufficient, and could not even explain Planck's law. Every attempt from Schrödinger's side to get round this bitter result was slowly refuted point by point in infinitely laborious discussions. It was perhaps from over-exertion that after a few days Schrödinger became ill and had to lie abed as a guest in Bohr's home.

“Nothing tends to materialize man and to deprive his work of the faintest trace of mind more than the extreme division of labor.”
