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

Richard Feynman

I always do that, get into something and see how far I can go.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

Science Yourself
I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

Knowledge Learning Myself People Understand Weakness
I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That’s their mistake, not my failing.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

Expectation Failure Mistake Myself Responsibility
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

Greatness Necessary Philosophy Science Wrong
In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

Human Perfection Truth
I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There are no miracle people. It happens they get interested in this thing and they learn all this stuff, but they’re just people.

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.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

Deep Enough Life Philosophy World
Learn what the rest of the world is like. The variety is worthwhile.
RICHARD FEYNMAN

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.

Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.

I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.

Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty – some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain.

That was a very good way to get educated, working on the senior problems and learning how to pronounce things.
