Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?

Work hard to find something that fascinates you.

If you have any talent, or any occupation that delights you, do it, and do it to the hilt. Don't ask why, or what difficulties you may get into.

The test of all knowledge is experiment.

I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!

[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd.

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
