More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Since then I never pay attention to anything by experts. I calculate everything myself.
Richard P. Feynman
To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.
Richard P. Feynman
(Joan,1941) She wrote me a letter asking,How can I read it?,Its so hard. I told her to start at the beginning and read as far as you can get until you're lost. Then start again at the beginning and keep working through until you can understand the whole book. And thats what she did
Richard P. Feynman
I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.
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
To not know math is a severe limitation to understanding the world.
Richard P. Feynman
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday.
Richard P. Feynman
There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them!
Richard P. Feynman
Don't worry about anything. Go out and have a good time.
Richard P. Feynman
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
Richard P. Feynman
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
Richard P. Feynman
If you can't explain something to a first year student, then you haven't really understood .
Richard P. Feynman
I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.
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
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
What we need is imagination, but imagination in a terrible strait-jacket.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value.
Richard P. Feynman
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!
Richard P. Feynman
People are always asking for the latest developments in the unification of this theory with that theory, and they don't give us a chance to tell them anything about what we know pretty well. They always want to know the things we don't know.
Richard P. Feynman
