Richard Feynman said this quote

“ The next question was — what makes planets go around the sun? At the time of Kepler some people answered this problem by saying that there were angels behind them beating their wings and pushing the planets around an orbit. As you will see, the answer is not very far from the truth. The only difference is that the angels sit in a different direction and their wings push inward. ”

Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is.

~ Richard Feynman

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 Feynman

I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!

~ Richard Feynman

– and pompous fools drive me up the wall. Ordinary fools are alright; you can talk to them and try to help them out. But pompous fools – guys who are fools and covering it all over and impressing people as to how wonderful they are with all this hocus pocus – THAT, I CANNOT STAND! An ordinary fool isn’t a faker; an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
