More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I don't have to be good because they think I'm going to be good.
Richard P. Feynman
I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning.
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
This is the key of modern science and is the beginning of the true understanding of nature. This idea. That to look at the things, to record the details, and to hope that in the information thus obtained, may lie a clue to one or another of a possible theoretical interpretation.
Richard P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule.
Richard P. Feynman
The real problem in speech is not precise language. The problem is clear language.
Richard P. Feynman
I find that teaching and the students keep life going, and I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never.
Richard P. Feynman
In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.
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
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter.
Richard P. Feynman
We are not to tell nature what she’s gotta be... She's always got better imagination than we have.
Richard P. Feynman
To develop working ideas efficiently, I try to fail as fast as I can.
Richard P. Feynman
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
Richard P. Feynman
I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!
Richard P. Feynman
What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them?
Richard P. Feynman
Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.
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
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
Richard P. Feynman
