"Physicists are trying to find out how nature behaves."

"I don't know anything, but I do know that everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough."

"The lesson you learn as you grow older in physics is that what we can do is a very small fraction of what there is.

In an interview with Omni Magazine, Feynman makes these statements which stood out and definitely warrant him as one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century.
