    Richard Feynman was a physicist known for his insightful quotes about science, life, and learning. Some of his key ideas were to explore the world with curiosity, see beauty in examining things closely with science, and to not worry about figuring everything out but instead focus on activities you find interesting. He felt science added to appreciation of nature by revealing inner workings and raising new questions, and that it was better to acknowledge what you don't know than have wrong answers.

    Richard Feynman Quotes from Great Reads:

    “Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is
    really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman

    “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”
    ― Richard Feynmann

    “Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman

    “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no
    responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

    “I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold
    up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful
    this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty.
    First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not
    be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see
    much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside,
    which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there's also beauty
    at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved
    in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a
    question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting
    questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It
    only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman

    “Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter.
    Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as
    much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what
    you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from
    doing anything at all.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman

    “I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman
    “I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have
    approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I
    am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether
    it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing
    things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can
    tell.”
    ― Richard P. Feynman
