I decided to sell my drawings. However, I didn't want people to buy my drawings because the professor of physics isn't supposed to be able to draw - isn't that wonderful - so I made up a false name. Richard P. Feynman buydecidedraw Change image and share on social
You're unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things. Richard P. Feynman discoverfunfunny Change image and share on social
I've always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it. Richard P. Feynman concentrateefforthave Change image and share on social
It has been discovered that all the world is made of the same atoms, that the stars are of the same stuff as ourselves. It then becomes a question of where our stuff came from. Not just where did life come from, or where did the earth come from, but where did the stuff of life and of the earth come from? Richard P. Feynman atomdiscoverearth share on social
People are always asking for the latest developments in the unification of this theory with that theory, and they don't give us a chance to tell them anything about one of the theories that we know pretty well. They always want to know things that we don't know. Richard P. Feynman chancedevelopmentgive share on social
From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work - not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules. Richard P. Feynman basicdiscoverinterest share on social
In talking about the impact of ideas in one field on ideas in another field, one is always apt to make a fool of oneself. Richard P. Feynman aptfieldfool Change image and share on social
I think equation guessing might be the best method to proceed to obtain the laws for the part of physics which is presently unknown. Yet, when I was much younger, I tried this equation guessing, and I have seen many students try this, but it is very easy to go off in wildly incorrect and impossible directions. Richard P.

I don't understand what it's all about or what's worth what, but if the people in the Swedish Academy decide that x, y or z wins the Nobel Prize, then so be it. Richard P. Feynman academydecidenobel Change image and share on social
The fact that the colors in the flower have evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; that means insects can see the colors. That adds a question: does this aesthetic sense we have also exist in lower forms of life? Richard P. Feynman addaestheticattract share on social
