Richard P Feynman Quotes

“Richard Feynman was fond of giving the following advice on how to be a genius. You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say, 'How did he do it? He must be a genius!”
― Gian-Carlo Rota, Indiscrete Thoughts

“Richard P Feynman was fascinated

by the Moon; he tried in earnest to

see the Moon. But science could

only see the Moon as a mere glob

of gas atoms.

The Moon too mesmerises me,

but for me the Moon is a Muse.

She engulfs me in my nights of

loneliness. And embalms me

with her love.”
