“ഒരു നല്ല മുസ്ലീമും ഒരു നല്ല കമ്യൂണിസ്റ്റുകാരനും നല്ല ഹിന്ദുവുമൊക്കെയാകുന്നതില്‍ ഒരു തിന്മയുണ്ട് കാലത്തിനോടെന്ന പോലെ സ്വന്തത്തോടും അയാള്‍ നീതി ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല എന്നതാണത്. താന്‍ ജീവിക്കുന്ന കാലത്തിനോടാണ് ഒരുവന്‍റെ ആദ്യത്തെ പ്രതിബദ്ധത. എല്ലാ മതത്തിലേയും മൌലികവാദികള്‍ക്ക് പ്രതിബദ്ധത വേറൊരു കാലത്തിനോടാണ്. വേറൊരു കാലത്തുണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ള തത്വശാസ്ത്രത്തിനോടോ ഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങളോടോ ആണ്.”

“The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver.

“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! 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. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.”
― Richard P. Feynman

“I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.”
― Richard P. Feynman, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman
