Physicists are, of course, rarely asked for sensible comments about anything. They make cameo appearances in the media where they are asked silly questions by journos who spend the time boasting about how little they understand science.
A pity. Here's the world according to the very quotable Neils Bohr, one of the founders of quantum mechanics.
You will note (this is an aside) how many of these quotes are actually statements of faith -- you need a lot of faith to get anywhere in quantum physics.
'Prediction is very difficult, especially concerning the future.'
'How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. '
'The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth. '
'You are not thinking. You are merely being logical. '
I borrowed these quotes from here.
