Richard P. Feynman
If you have any talent, or any occupation that delights you, do it, and do it to the hilt. Don't ask why, or what difficulties you may get into.
Richard P. Feynman
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't have to be good because they think I'm going to be good.
Richard P. Feynman

An ordinary fool isn't a faker an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
Richard P. Feynman
Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.
Richard P. Feynman
When the problem [quantum chromodynamics] is finally solved, it will all be by imagination. Then there will be some big thing about the great way it was done. But it's simple -it will all be by imagination, and persistence.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
