Feynman was troubled by his involvement in the development of nuclear weapons and worked hard for nuclear disarmament, contrasting with his more detached approach to physics.

Richard Feynman disliked certain styles of philosophy that were full of jargon and lacked clarity, yet he was deeply philosophical in his own way, focusing on simple and clear explanations.

I learned the importance of honesty from Richard Feynman, who said you must never fool yourself, as you are the easiest person to fool.

I believe there is so much in nature that we have yet to leverage and understand, and much of our work is about unveiling new truths about the natural world.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it. This emphasizes the importance of building and experimenting rather than just theorizing.

The idea that a quantum computer would be powerful was emphasized over 30 years ago by Richard Feynman, who believed that nature is quantum mechanical and that simulating nature should also be quantum mechanical.

Richard Feynman was about as mainstream as you can be, but he had his own very special scientific personality.

To achieve greatness in science, one must see what others miss and embrace contradictions to make significant advancements.

The tools of physics are incredibly helpful for understanding and making progress in any field. First principles mean breaking things down to the fundamental elements that are most likely to be true and reasoning up from there as cogently as possible.
