Quotes by Richard Feynman
The pleasure of finding things out, the kick of the discovery, the joy of the creation, is what makes it all worthwhile.
I like to play with things. I like to experiment. I like to see what happens.
The only way to have real success in science is to describe the mess.
There's plenty of room at the bottom.
I have no responsibility to live up to what I ought to have done. I have no responsibility to be like other people. I have only responsibility to be myself.
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Immediately pay attention to anything that has your curiosity.
You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like other people. I have only responsibility to be myself.
I don't believe I can really do anything useful in science unless I realize that after I've made the best effort I can, I still might be wrong.
The game of science is to find out what makes the world go 'round.
Why are there so many scientists? Because they are interested in the things that they are doing.
The real glory of science is that we can find things out and that we can understand them.
I don't know anything about anything, but I know that everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.
You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird.
The whole problem of life is to find out what you're good at.
If we are going to have a science in the future, we must have a generation of scientists who are not afraid to admit when they don't know.
I simply want to get the facts straight.
The game is to find out how the world works, not to prove that you're right.
The only way to do something is to do it.
I don't have to be a genius. I'm a scientist. I just have to be curious.
The world is a great big puzzle, and we're all trying to figure out how it works.
