I learned a lot of different things from different schools. MIT is a very good place…. It has developed for itself a… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
We scientists are clever — too clever — are you not satisfied? Is four square miles in one bomb not enough? Men… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Any schemes - such as 'think of symmetry laws', or 'put the information in mathematical form', or 'guess equations'- are known to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. There is no learning without… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When you're thinking about something that you don't understand, you have a terrible, uncomfortable feeling called confusion... Now, is the confusion's because… — 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
I think, however, that there isn't any solution to this problem of education other than to realize that the best teaching can… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
You see, I get so much fun out of thinking that I don’t want to destroy this pleasant machine that makes life… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
[When a young person loses faith in his religion because he begins to study science and its methodology] it isn't that [through… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree… — 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
If you're doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid - not only what you think… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think Nature's imagination is so much greater than man's, she's never gonna let us relax! — 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 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… — 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 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
