'Some people say, "How can you live without knowing?" I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.' Richard P. Feynman

"This unique book provides inspiring insights into the ideas and personality of Richard Feynman. These thoughtfully chosen quotations capture the genuine Feynman, giving a broader view of his character, ideas, and charm than most other biographical material that has been published. The book will be interesting to a wide audience and I expect to reread it with pleasure in the future."--Danny Hillis, cofounder of Applied Minds and author of "The Pattern on the Stone: The Simple Ideas That Make Computers Work"

"As this enjoyable and important book shows, Richard Feynman's lucidity lent itself to pithy quotes of substance. His voice will remain influential for many years to come."--Jeffrey Forshaw, coauthor of "The Quantum Universe" and "Why Does E=mc2?"

"[Feynman] was, after all, a Nobel Prize winning scientist, yet he wrote often with great lucidity and humor, much of which is on display in this collection."
