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.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know.
Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard P. Feynman
All mass is interaction.
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
I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why I wonder.
Richard P. Feynman
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
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
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
Richard P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule.
Richard P. Feynman
Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.
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
Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science - for to fill your heart with love is enough!
Richard P. Feynman
We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.
Richard P. Feynman
Learn what the rest of the world is like. The variety is worthwhile.
Richard P. Feynman
If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions - for the fun of it - then one day you'll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one! And that's the way to become a computer scientist.
Richard P. Feynman
Don't worry about anything. Go out and have a good time.
Richard P. Feynman
Einstein was a giant. His head was in the clouds, but his feet were on the ground. But those of us who are not that tall have to choose!
Richard P. Feynman
There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
Richard P. Feynman
The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.
Richard P. Feynman
