Richard P. FeynmanPhysicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?
Richard P. FeynmanIf science is to progress, what we need is the ability to experiment, honesty in reporting results—the results must be reported without somebody saying what they would like the results to have been—and finally—an important thing—the intelligence to interpret the results.

Richard P. FeynmanAn ordinary fool isn't a faker; an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
Richard P. FeynmanI don't like honors. I'm appreciated for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I notice that other physicists use my work. I don't need anything else. I don't think there's any sense to anything else.... I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it. Those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors... I can't stand it, it hurts me.
