More quotes by 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
Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very deep and strong struggle: permit us to question - to doubt - to not be sure. I think that it is important that we do not forget this struggle and thus perhaps lose what we have gained.
Richard P. Feynman
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
Richard P. Feynman
The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.
Richard P. Feynman
Everything is made of atoms.
Richard P. Feynman
When I found out that Santa Claus wasn't real, I wasn't upset rather, I was relieved that there was a much simpler phenomenon to explain how so many children all over the world got presents on the same night! The story had been getting pretty complicated -- it was getting out of hand.
Richard P. Feynman
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
There is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the oceans in the world.
Richard P. Feynman
You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature...cannot be fooled!
Richard P. Feynman
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!
Richard P. Feynman
I'm smart enough to know that I'm dumb.
Richard P. Feynman
Maybe that is why young people make success. They don't know enough.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.
Richard P. Feynman
What did you ASK at school today?
Richard P. Feynman
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 P. Feynman
You do not know anything until you have practiced.
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
