If you're not having fun, you're not learning. There's a pleasure in finding things out.

I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There's no miracle people.

The first rule of learning is to admit you don’t know. The second rule is to never stop asking why.

If we suppress all discussion, all criticism, proclaiming "This is the answer, my friends; man is saved!" we will doom humanity for a long time to the chains of authority, confined to the limits of our present imagination. It has been done so many times before.

In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be “known” with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities.

I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are there.

The idea of quantum mechanics that I want to describe now is a positive thing. It's a way that we actually use to make calculations and understand nature. Excuse me, to make calculations! We really don't understand it very well... Understanding real nature, we are unable to do.

The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be."

I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.

Genius doesn’t come from knowing all the answers—it comes from embracing uncertainty and following where it leads.

Knowledge is like an ocean, vast and infinite. The further you venture, the deeper you realize it goes. Yet, if you only stand at the shore, you may falsely believe you've seen its entirety.

If we want to solve a problem that we have never solved before, we must leave the door to the unknown ajar.

The things that matter are honesty, independence, willingness to admit ignorance.

Just because you ignore the facts, doesn't mean they cease to exist.
