Some people say, How can you live without knowing? I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.

More quotes by 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
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
I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind however, I decided not to. I didn't want to chance ruining the machine.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature's imagination far surpasses our own.
Richard P. Feynman
All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't.
Richard P. Feynman
If all of this, all the life of a stream of water, can be nothing but a pile of atoms, how much more is possible?
Richard P. Feynman
If you can't explain something to a first year student, then you haven't really understood .
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
Richard P. Feynman
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
Richard P. Feynman
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it.
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
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday.
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
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
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before.
Richard P. Feynman
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman
I think Nature's imagination is so much greater than man's, she's never gonna let us relax!
Richard P. Feynman
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
