More quotes by 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
A poet once said, The whole universe is in a glass of wine. We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe.
Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard P. Feynman
One does not, by knowing all the physical laws as we know them today, immediately obtain an understanding of anything much. I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or seven different theoretical representations for exactly the same physics.
Richard P. Feynman
The most important thing I found out from my father is that if you asked any question and pursued it deeply enough, then at the end there was a glorious discovery of a general and beautiful kind.
Richard P. Feynman
People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.
Richard P. Feynman
If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.
Richard P. Feynman
The basis of action on love, the brotherhood of all men, the value of the individual... the humility of the spirit.
Richard P. Feynman
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!
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
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
Richard P. Feynman
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.
Richard P. Feynman
Victory usually goes to those green enough to underestimate the monumental hurdles they are facing.
Richard P. Feynman
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
Richard P. Feynman
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 P. Feynman
You see, I get such fun out of thinking that I don't want to destroy this most pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.
Richard P. Feynman
It is impossible, by the way, when picking one example of anything, to avoid picking one which is atypical in some sense.
Richard P. Feynman
But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
Richard P. Feynman
If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.
Richard P. Feynman
