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!

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd.
Richard P. Feynman
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation.
Richard P. Feynman
This is the key of modern science and is the beginning of the true understanding of nature. This idea. That to look at the things, to record the details, and to hope that in the information thus obtained, may lie a clue to one or another of a possible theoretical interpretation.
Richard P. Feynman
This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire. It becomes a habit of thought. Once acquired, we cannot retreat from it anymore.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
All mass is interaction.
Richard P. Feynman
It requires a much higher degree of imagination to understand the electromagnetic field than to understand invisible angels. ... I speak of the E and B fields and wave my arms and you may imagine that I can see them ... [but] I cannot really make a picture that is even nearly like the true waves.
Richard P. Feynman
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation.
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
The Quantum Universe has a quotation from me in every chapter - but it's a damn good book anyway.
Richard P. Feynman
In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be known with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities.
Richard P. Feynman
I learned from her that every woman is worried about her looks, no matter how beautiful she is.
Richard P. Feynman
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman
You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.
Richard P. Feynman
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
Richard P. Feynman
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
Richard P. Feynman
There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons they are both screwy, but in exactly in the same way.
Richard P. Feynman
The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real.
Richard P. Feynman
There are thousands of years in the past, and there is an unknown amount of time in the future. There are all kinds of opportunities, and there are all kinds of dangers.
Richard P. Feynman
