Here is a collection of quotations by Richard Feynman:

*“I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.”

*“Religion is a culture of [[faith]]; science is a culture of doubt.” (c. 1960)<ref>https://www.eoht.info/page/Feynman%20on%20religion</ref>

*“I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s much more interesting ‘not knowing’ than to have answers that might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and there are many things I don’t know anything about such as whether it means anything to ask ‘why we’re here?’ and what the question might mean; I might think about it a little bit, and if I can’t figure it out, I’ll move on to something else, but I don’t have to know an answer, I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me.” (1981, at age 63, from an interview with Christopher Sykes “The Pleasure of Finding Things Out” interview)<ref name="EOHT"/>
