Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It’s more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.
Dr. Seuss (1904-1991) American author, illustrator [pseud. of Theodor Geisel]

This isn’t right. This isn’t even wrong.
[Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!]
Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) American physicist
(Attributed)
Quoted by R. Peierls in “Wolfgang Ernst Pauli, 1900-1958,″ Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society (1960): “... a friend showed him the paper of a young physicist which he suspected was not of great value but on which he wanted Pauli’s views. Pauli remarked sadly ‘That’s not right. It’s not even wrong.’” More discussion here.
