Seen today in the Daily Telegraph in an article by Stephen Bailey discussing the merits of a painting bought by David Milliband's wife for his 40th birthday, was a wonderful quote by Wolfgang Pauli (1900 - 1958) a Swiss (Austrian-born) physicist
'This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.'
when describing a paper submitted by a physicist colleague as if to suggest being wrong would at least mean it was in the approximate area of being right.
Stephen Bailey suggested that the painting bought by Mrs M wasn't even bad - he described it as 'middle-brow junk'!
