Nobody ever figures out what ...

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

Study hard what interests you...

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

The "paradox" is only a confl...

The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be."

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

People often think I'm a fake...

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way - in such a way that often nobody believes me!

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

The most obvious characterist...

The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

Poets say science takes away ...

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

I was terrible in English. I ...

I was terrible in English. I couldn't stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention - it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

I don't know what's the matte...

I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way - by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

Each piece, or part, of the w...

Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

Today, all physicists know fr...

Today, all physicists know from studying Einstein and Bohr that sometimes an idea which looks completely paradoxical at first, if analyzed to completion in all detail and in experimental situations, may, in fact, not be paradoxical.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

I don't believe in honors - it bothers me. Honors bother: honors is epaulettes; honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

There is nothing that living ...

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

If you keep proving stuff tha...

If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions - for the fun of it - then one day you'll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

In any decision for action, w...

In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a 'should' involved, and this cannot be worked out from, 'If I do this, what will happen?' alone.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

When I would hear the rabbi t...

When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn't any wind, I would try to fit the miracle into the real world and explain it in terms of natural phenomena.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

If I could explain it to the ...

If I could explain it to the average person, it wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

Europeans are much more serious than we are in America because they think that a good place to discuss intellectual matters is a beer party.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

Nature uses only the longest ...

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

Richard Feynman 390 quotes

The drawing teacher has this ...

The drawing teacher has this problem of communicating how to draw by osmosis and not by instruction, while the physics teacher has the problem of always teaching techniques, rather than the spirit, of how to go about solving physical problems.
