Physicist

I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.

There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.

I need physics more than friends.

Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.

When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they were found because it was possible to find them.

In the material sciences these are and have been, and are most surely likely to continue to be heroic days.

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.

The history of science is rich in example of the fruitfulness of bringing two sets of techniques, two sets of ideas, developed in separate contexts for the pursuit of new truth, into touch with one another.

To try to become happy is to try to build a machine with no other specifications than it shall run noiselessly.

Scientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists.
