There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them!

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There’s so much distance between the fundamental rules and the final phenomenon, that it’s almost unbelievable that the final variety of phenomenon can come from such a steady operation of such simple rules.
Richard P. Feynman
Light is something like raindrops each little lump of light is called a photon and if the light is all one color, all the raindrops are the same.
Richard P. Feynman
A philosopher once said, 'It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.' Well, they don't!
Richard P. Feynman
Maybe that is why young people make success. They don't know enough.
Richard P. Feynman
Learn what the rest of the world is like. The variety is worthwhile.
Richard P. Feynman
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
Richard P. Feynman
As you know, a theory in physics is not useful unless it is able to predict underlined effects which we would otherwise expect.
Richard P. Feynman
The real problem in speech is not precise language. The problem is clear language.
Richard P. Feynman
When things are going well, something will go wrong. / When things just can't get any worse, they will. / Anytime things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.
Richard P. Feynman
Strange! I don't understand how it is that we can write mathematical expressions and calculate what the thing is going to do without being able to picture it.
Richard P. Feynman
In any organization there ought to be the possibility of discussion... fence sitting is an art, and it's difficult, and it's important to do, rather than to go headlong in one direction or the other. It's just better to have action, isn't it than to sit on the fence? Not if you're not sure which way to go, it isn't.
Richard P. Feynman
Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
Richard P. Feynman
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter.
Richard P. Feynman
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 P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule.
Richard P. Feynman
By honest I don't mean that you only tell what's true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind.
Richard P. Feynman
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
Richard P. Feynman
We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.
Richard P. Feynman
We find that the statements of science are not of what is true and what is not true, but statements of what is known with different degrees of certainty: It is very much more likely that so and so is true than that it is not true.
Richard P. Feynman
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
Richard P. Feynman
