“ A few years after I gave some lectures for the freshmen at Caltech (which were published as the Feynman Lectures on Physics), I received a long letter from a feminist group. I was accused of being ant… Richard Feynman
“ I think nature's imagination Is so much greater than man's, she's never going to let us relax Richard Feynman
“ Take this neat little equation here. It tells me all the ways an electron can make itself comfortable in or around an atom. That's the logic of it. The poetry of it is that the equation tells me how s… Richard Feynman
“ I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy. Richard Feynman
“ I suddenly remembered that Murray Gell-Mann and I were supposed to give talks at that conference on the present situation of high-energy physics. My talk was set for the plenary session, so I asked th… Richard Feynman
“ I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an arti… Richard Feynman

“ Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible. Richard Feynman
“ We have written the equations of water flow. From experiment, we find a set of concepts and approximations to use to discuss the solution--vortex streets, turbulent wakes, boundary layers. When we hav… Richard Feynman
“ I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different t… Richard Feynman
“ I noticed that the [drawing] teacher didn't tell people much... Instead, he tried to inspire us to experiment with new approaches. I thought of how we teach physics: We have so many techniques - so ma… Richard Feynman
“ Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next? Richard Feynman
“ It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all th… Richard Feynman
