Richard Feynman said this quote

“ We have been led to imagine all sorts of things infinitely more marvelous than the imagining of poets and dreamers of the past. It shows that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. For instance, how much more remarkable it is for us all to be stuck-half of us upside down-by a mysterious attraction, to a spinning ball that has been swinging in space for billions of years, than to be carried on the back of an elephant supported on a tortoise swimming in a bottomless sea. ”

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!
