My favorite quotations: Richard P. Feynman
August 15th, 2005 by Michael Moncur in BiographyContinuing the my favorite quotations series, here are my favorite quotations from Richard Feynman. Feynman was a Nobel prize-winning physicist and created a well-known series of lectures on physics, but more importantly he was a character who divided his time between physics, practical jokes, and hobbies ranging from playing the drums to safecracking.
I first heard of Richard Feynman just after his death in 1988. Fortunately much of his knowledge and wit has been preserved in books, notably the classic Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman. Whether you’re interested in physics or not it’s a very entertaining read.
