From the Princeton University Press:
“Some people say, ‘How can you live without knowing?’ I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.”—Richard P. Feynman
Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918–88) was that rarest of creatures—a towering scientific genius who could make himself understood by anyone and who became as famous for the wit and wisdom of his popular lectures and writings as for his fundamental contributions to science. The Quotable Feynman is a treasure-trove of this revered and beloved scientist’s most profound, provocative, humorous, and memorable quotations on a wide range of subjects.
It sounds an interesting read, especially if you’re a Feynman fan.
I’ve written a few posts on Feynman that might be of interest, including:
- Feynman Day At The Bloomsbury
- Feynman In Pictures
- Feynman’s Legendary Lectures
- Feynman And Explaining Things
I started my career as a theoretical physicist and during this period I co-organised the last physics meeting that he attended, held on the small German island of Wangerooge.
