I love Richard Feynman. Other great Feynman quotes:

"I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong."


"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool."


"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

"I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring." (last words)
