“Let us note in which way the consciousnesses are related to each other and to the physical world. The relations in question show a remarkable similarity to the relation of light quanta to each other and to the material bodies with which quantum mechanics deals. Light quanta do not influence each other directly, but only by influencing material bodies which then influence other light quanta.” Eugene Wigner, Remarks on the Mind-Body Question, 1961

“And thus as we descend the scale of being, Nature speaks to other senses – to known, misunderstood, and unknown senses: so speaks she with herself and to us in a thousand modes. To the attentive observer, she is nowhere dead nor silent […] However manifold, complicated, and unintelligible this language may often seem to us, yet its elements remain ever the same. With light poise and counterpoise, Nature oscillates within her prescribed limits, yet thus arrive all the varieties and conditions of the phenomena which are presented to us in space and time.” Goethe, Introduction to Theory of Colors
