David Bohm Quote: “Q: Are you saying that thought has a kind of possessive quality which stays, gets stuck, and then becomes habitual? And we don’t see this? Bohm: I think that whenever we repeat something it gradually becomes a habit, and we get less and less aware of it.

David Bohm Quote: “If we supposed that theories gave true knowledge, corresponding to ‘reality as it is’, then we would have to conclude that Newtonian theory was true until around 1900, after which it suddenly became false, while relativity and quantum theory suddenly became the truth.
