Murray Gell-Mann

The universe is a place of both order and chaos.

We must embrace uncertainty as a fundamental aspect of reality.

The pursuit of knowledge is an intrinsically human endeavor.

The universe is not just stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

The world is a complex place, and we are all trying to make sense of it. But some of us are trying harder than others, and some of us are making more sense than others.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a very curious person who asks a lot of questions.

If you want to understand something, try to change it.

Science is the organized skepticism in the interrogation of nature.

I'm not saying I'm always right, but I'm usually right.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

One of the great things about science is that it's a self-correcting process. Eventually, the truth comes out.

I'm not interested in being famous. I'm interested in understanding the world.

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

Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.

I'm not a believer in the 'lone genius' theory. Science is a collaborative effort.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

I'm not a fan of dogma. I prefer to keep an open mind.

The beauty of science is that it allows us to glimpse the underlying order of the universe.
