So I have just one wish for you – the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your posit...
Only with quantitative observations can one arrive at quantitative relationships, which are the heart of physics.
Learn what the rest of the world is like. The variety is worthwhile.
I’ve found out since that such people don’t know what they’re doing, and get insulted when you make some suggestion or criticism.
I wouldn’t stop until I figured the damn thing out–it would take me fifteen or twenty minutes. But during the day, other guys would come to me with the same problem, and I’d do it for them in a flash....
I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
It is impossible to explain honestly the beauties of the laws of nature in a way that people can feel, without their having some deep understanding of mathematics. I am sorry, but this seems to be the...
What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school... It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it...
In fact the total amount that a physicist knows is very little. He has only to remember the rules to get him from one place to another and he is all right...
I have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end.

لا ينبغي أن نخشى من الشكّ بل يجب أن نرحّب به ونناقشه
There is a most profound and beautiful question associated with the observed coupling constant, e - the amplitude for a real electron to emit or absorb a real photon. It is a simple number that has be...
Philosophers have said before that one of the fundamental requisites of science is that whenever you set up the same conditions, the same thing must happen. This is simply not true, it is not a fundam...
If you try once or twice to communicate and get pushed back, pretty soon you decide, To hell with it.
I don’t believe in honors, it bothers me, honors bother, honors is epaulettes, honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way. I can’t stand it, it hurts me.
I USED to cross the United States in my automobile every summer, trying to make it to the Pacific Ocean. But, for various reasons, I would always get stuck somewhere—usually in Las Vegas.
For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.
When it came time for me to give my talk on the subject, I started off by drawing an outline of the cat and began to name the various muscles. The other students in the class interrupt me: We _know_ a...
The individual member of the social community often receives his information via visual, symbolic channels. I went back and forth over it, and translated. You know what it means? People read.
