More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.
Richard P. Feynman
[B]eyond poverty, beyond the point that the material needs are reasonably satisfied, only from within is peace.
Richard P. Feynman
We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know.
Richard P. Feynman
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't have to be good because they think I'm going to be good.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.
Richard P. Feynman
Since then I never pay attention to anything by experts. I calculate everything myself.
Richard P. Feynman
It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.
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
Nature...cannot be fooled!
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
You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things... It doesn't frighten me.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm smart enough to know that I'm dumb.
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
I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind however, I decided not to. I didn't want to chance ruining the machine.
Richard P. Feynman
You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity. When you get it right, it is obvious that it is right -- at least if you have any experience -- because usually what happens is that more comes out than goes in.
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
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
Richard P. Feynman
Every instrument that has been designed to be sensitive enough to detect weak light has always ended up discovering that the same thing: light is made of particles.
Richard P. Feynman
If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.
Richard P. Feynman
