Richard P. Feynman Quotes

To understand is to invent.

Imagination is a powerful force underlying all knowing

Kids don't need to be taught the value of making; they are natural makers, at least until traditional education makes them afraid of making mistakes. The long-term value of making for kids is in learning to become an active participant in the world around them rather than a consumer of prepackaged products and solutions.

What I cannot create, I do not understand.

Imagination comes in after we have experience.

The imagination is a species of knowledge, knowledge that can take the form of discovery.

He who does not know how to create should not know.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

As I see it, whoever's doing the inventing is also doing most of the learning - and probably having most of the fun.

If you're trying to be more creative, one of the most important things you can do is increase the volume and diversity of the information to which you are exposed.

The thing I love about science is finding out something new and different.

Learning is the new skill. Imagination, creation and asking new questions are at its core.

Read a lot, live your life, and listen and watch, so that your mind fills up with millions of images.

At the root of everything I do is a fascination with ideas - what ideas are for, what jobs they do.

If you read, the world is your oyster. It truly is. Reading makes everything possible.

Writing isn't necessarily about what one knows but what one wants to know.

If I experiment enough, I get a deeper understanding.

I'll stop when I run out of ideas.

Do not imagine that you have to know everything before you can do anything. My own best work was done when I was most ignorant.

In my basic courses I have always tried to develop discovery and invention which, in my opinion, are the criteria of creativeness.

Imagination is built upon knowledge.

What you can imagine depends on what you know.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Knowing a lot...is a springboard to creativity.

Imagination is not enough. Knowledge is necessary.
