I think it is the general rule that the originator of a new idea is not the most suitable person to develop it, because his fears of something going wrong are really too strong... At age 69.

The only object of theoretical physics is to calculate results that can be compared with experiment... it is quite unnecessary that any satisfactory description of the whole course of the phenomena should be given.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it is the exact opposite.

The methods of theoretical physics should be applicable to all those branches of thought in which the essential features are expressible with numbers.

A physical law must possess mathematical beauty.

Quantum mechanics has explained all of chemistry and most of physics.
