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
I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind; however, I… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a 'should' involved,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn't getting anywhere… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
By honest I don't mean that you only tell what's true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think that when we know that we actually do live in uncertainty, then we ought to admit it; it is of… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . It's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss. We can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance gold transfers we can't talk about, because those… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
“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 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
“There was a Princess Somebody of Denmark sitting at a table with a number of people around her, and I saw an empty chair at their table and sat down. She turned to me and said, "Oh! You're one of the Nobel-Prize-winners. In what field did you do your work?" "In physics," I said. "Oh. Well, nobody knows anything about… — 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 Image
“There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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 Image
