The unanswerable mysteries... the attitude that all is uncertain... to summarize it - the humility of the intellect. — 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
There are all kinds of interesting questions that come from a knowledge of science, which only adds to the excitement and mystery… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
To do any important work in physics a very good mathematical ability and aptitude are required. Some work in applications can be… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I am a successful lecturer in physics for popular audiences. The real entertainment gimmick is the excitement, drama and mystery of the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of stars-mere globs of gas atoms. Nothing is "mere". I too see the stars… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image

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 Image
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 Image
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — 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 conditions. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
