What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them? — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
We are not to tell nature what she’s gotta be. She's always got better imagination than we have. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It turns out that all life is interconnected with all other life. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
While I am describing to you how Nature works, you won't understand why Nature works that way. But you see, nobody understands… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When you get as old as I am, you start to realize that you've told most of the good stuff you know… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Everything we know is only some kind of approximation, because we know that we do not know all the laws yet. Therefore,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It is impossible, by the way, when picking one example of anything, to avoid picking one which is atypical in some sense. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It is necessary for the very existence of science that minds exist which do not allow that nature must satisfy some preconceived… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Start out understanding religion by saying everything is possibly wrong... As soon as you do that, you start sliding down an edge… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When things are going well, something will go wrong. / When things just can't get any worse, they will. / Anytime things… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Of course, I am interested, but I would not dare to talk about them. In talking about the impact of ideas in… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing! — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That's their mistake, not my failing.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
God was invented to explain mystery. God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The thing that doesn't fit is the thing that is most interesting. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Philosophers have said before that one of the fundamental requisites of science is that whenever you set up the same conditions, the same thing… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
My rule is, when you are unhappy, think about it. But when you're happy, don't. Why spoil it? You're probably happy for some ridiculous… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
It is necessary for the very existence of science that minds exist which do not allow that nature must satisfy some preconceived conditions. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
“There was a Princess Somebody of Denmark sitting at a table with a number of people around her, and I saw an empty chair… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
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 Copy Share
“There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
One cannot understand... the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
I was a very shy character, always feeling uncomfortable because everybody was stronger than I, and always afraid I would look like a sissy.… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
