More quotes by 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
What we need is imagination, but imagination in a terrible strait-jacket.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.
Richard P. Feynman
There are all kinds of interesting questions that come from a knowledge of science, which only adds to the excitement and mystery and awe of a flower.
Richard P. Feynman
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd.
Richard P. Feynman
I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
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
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
The exception tests the rule.
Richard P. Feynman
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman
The scale of light can be described by numbers called the frequency and as the numbers get higher, the light goes from red to blue to ultraviolet. We can't see ultraviolet light, but it can affect photographic plates. It's still light only the number is different.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't feel frightened by not knowing things.
Richard P. Feynman
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday.
Richard P. Feynman
The work I have done has, already, been adequately rewarded and recognized. Imagination reaches out repeatedly trying to achieve some higher level of understanding, until suddenly I find myself momentarily alone before one new corner of nature's pattern of beauty and true majesty revealed. That was my reward.
Richard P. Feynman
Since then I never pay attention to anything by experts. I calculate everything myself.
Richard P. Feynman
All theoretical chemistry is really physics and all theoretical chemists know it.
Richard P. Feynman
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
Richard P. Feynman
We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.
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
