Richard Feynman

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. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

I don't believe in the idea of a 'good' or 'bad' atom. I just believe in atoms.

When you are a scientist, you are a member of a community of people who are trying to find out the truth.

The principle of science, the definition, almost, is the following: The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific truth.

I was also a little bit of a clown.

I don't know anything, but I do know that everything is interesting if you look at it deeply enough.

There are no rules in science, only facts.

If you want to master something, teach it.

The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.

I was always interested in things that are on the edge of what we know.

The price of doing science is the necessity of not being a know-it-all.

I'm not a serious fellow.

If you thought that science was certain — well, that is just an error on your part.

The highest possible achievement is to be able to make a discovery.

I had a lot of fun, and I'm very glad I was born.

When we know how to do something, we don't call it research anymore.

It is not the job of the scientist to tell people what to do, but to provide them with the knowledge to make their own decisions.

The game of science is to understand the world.

I simply want to find out more about the world, and I find that the best way to do that is to do science.
