More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Our poets do not write about it our artists do not try to portray this remarkable thing. I don't know why. Is nobody inspired by our present picture of the universe? The value of science remains unsung by singers... This is not yet a scientific age.
Richard P. Feynman
Ordinary fools are all right you can talk to them, and try to help them out. But pompous fools-guys who are fools and are covering it all over and impressing people as to how wonderful they are with all this hocus pocus-THAT, I CANNOT STAND! An ordinary fool isn't a faker an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
Richard P. Feynman
If the professors of English will complain to me that the students who come to the universities, after all those years of study, still cannot spell 'friend,' I say to them that something's the matter with the way you spell friend.
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
The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in - a trial and error system.
Richard P. Feynman
All we know so far is what doesn't work.
Richard P. Feynman
You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.
Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard P. Feynman
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
We've learned from experience that the truth will out.
Richard P. Feynman
We scientists are clever — too clever — are you not satisfied? Is four square miles in one bomb not enough? Men are still thinking. Just tell us how big you want it!
Richard P. Feynman
Work hard to find something that fascinates you.
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
[B]eyond poverty, beyond the point that the material needs are reasonably satisfied, only from within is peace.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
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
What did you ASK at school today?
Richard P. Feynman
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
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
If you thought you were trying to find out more about it because you're gonna get an answer to some deep philosophical question...you may be wrong! It may be that you can't get an answer to that particular question by finding out more about the character of nature. But my interest in science is to simply find out about the world.
Richard P. Feynman
