More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is
Richard P. Feynman
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
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.
Richard P. Feynman
Words can be meaningless. If they are used in such a way that no sharp conclusions can be drawn.
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
People may come along and argue philosophically that they like one better than another but we have learned from much experience that all philosophical intuitions about what nature is going to do fail.
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
We decided that 'trivial' means 'proved'. So we joked with the mathematicians: We have a new theorem- that mathematicians can prove only trivial theorems, because every theorem that's proved is trivial.
Richard P. Feynman
But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
Richard P. Feynman
Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
Richard P. Feynman
[B]eyond poverty, beyond the point that the material needs are reasonably satisfied, only from within is peace.
Richard P. Feynman
Learn what the rest of the world is like. The variety is worthwhile.
Richard P. Feynman
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!
Richard P. Feynman
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.
Richard P. Feynman
But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature...cannot be fooled!
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
Nature's imagination far surpasses our own.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.
Richard P. Feynman
Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.
Richard P. Feynman
