Murray Gell-Mann

There's a deep satisfaction in contributing to human knowledge.

The world needs more critical thinkers.

My love for physics has been a constant throughout my life.

The universe is a symphony of fundamental forces.

How can one be a scientist if one is not a dreamer?

What is fundamental is not what is simple, but what is universal.

The universe is a quantum mechanical system, and we are part of it.

Quarks are not things you can see, but they are things you can infer.

The more we learn, the more we realize how much we don't know.

Science is a way of trying to understand the world, and it's a very successful way.

The beauty of science is that it's always changing, always evolving.

We are all part of the same universe, and we are all connected.

The future of science is in interdisciplinary research.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'

The world is full of surprises, and that's what makes it so interesting.

We should always be open to new ideas, even if they seem strange at first.

The universe is a complex system, and we are just beginning to understand it.

The search for fundamental laws is a never-ending quest.

Science is a human endeavor, and it's full of human foibles.

The most important thing in science is to ask the right questions.
