Richard P. Feynman quote: "All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but..."
All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't. Richard P. Feynman
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 P. Feynman
When I tried to show him how an electromagnet works by making a little coil of wire and hanging a nail on a piece of string, I put the voltage on, the nail swung into the coil, and Jerry said, “Ooh! It’s just like fucking! Richard P. Feynman

But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. Richard P. Feynman
There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them! Richard P. Feynman

I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell. Possibly. It doesn't frighten me. Richard P. Feynman

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me! Richard P. Feynman
The female mind is capable of understanding analytic geometry... The difficulty may just be that we have never yet discovered a way to communicate with the female mind. If it is done in the right way, you may be able to get something out of it. Richard P. Feynman
For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent? Richard P. Feynman
From a long view of the history of mankind, seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade. Richard P. Feynman
You know, the most amazing thing happened to me tonight... I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing! Richard P. Feynman
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. Richard P. Feynman
Richard P. Feynman quote: "Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling..."
Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves. Richard P. Feynman

Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds. Richard P. Feynman
