Richard P. Feynman
“If you try once or twice to communicate and get pushed back, pretty soon you decide, “To hell with it.”
Richard P. Feynman, What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Character

Richard P. Feynman
“I was terrible in English. I couldn't stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention--it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature. Any word can be spelled just as well a different way.”
Richard Feynman

“How much do you value life?” “Sixty-four.”
Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! Adventures of a Curious Character

Steven Pinker
“Richard Feynman once wrote, “If you ever hear yourself saying, ‘I think I understand this,’ that means you don’t.”
Steven Pinker, The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century

Richard P. Feynman
“I did that once when I was a student at MIT. I got sick and tired of having to decide what kind of dessert I was going to have at the restaurant, so I decided it would always be chocolate ice cream, and never worried about it again—I had the solution to that problem.”
