| “It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge what energy is. We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite amount.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: Volume I, 4-1 - The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) |
| “The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality ought to be.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: Volume III, p. 18-9 - The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) |

| “Perhaps you will not only have some appreciation of this culture; it is even possible that you may want to join in the greatest adventure that the human mind has ever begun.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: Volume III, Epilogue - The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) |
| “Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or seven different theoretical representations for exactly the same physics.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: Ch. 7, Seeking New Laws - The Character of Physical Law (1965) |
| “For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: The Character of Physical Law (1965) |
| “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 what we know pretty well. They always want to know the things we don't know.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: QED : The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (1985) |
| “...will you understand what I'm going to tell you?...No, you're not going to be able to understand it....I don't understand it. Nobody does.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: QED : The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (1985) |
| “...while I am describing to you how Nature works, you won't understand why Nature works that way. But you see, nobody understands that.” ―Richard Feynman Source/Notes: QED : The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (1985) |

Quote of the day
“A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices.”
