Richard Feynman - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Richard Feynman was an influential American theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and particle physics. Born in 1918, he played a significant role in the Manhattan Project and later won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his contributions to the development of quantum theory. Feynman's unique approach combined deep theoretical insight with an ability to communicate complex ideas clearly, making him a celebrated educator and popularizer of science. Feynman was also renowned for his curious and adventurous spirit. Beyond his scientific achievements, he enjoyed pursuits such as playing the bongo drums and drawing, showcasing his belief in the importance of playfulness and creativity in science. His lectures and books, particularly "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" illustrate his witty and unconventional approach to life and learning. His legacy endures through his substantial contributions to physics and his ability to inspire countless students and scientists. Feynman's philosophy emphasized not just the importance of knowledge, but also the joy of discovery and the value of questioning. He remains a legendary figure in both the scientific community and popular culture.

The Red Lion was a four-ale bar with a handful of lowbrowed sons of toil who looked as though they might be related to one another in ways frowned on by the Old Testament.
Sebastian Faulks
Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.

All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search.
And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end?
I shrugged.
You see?
He leaned back. He smiled.
When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
Mitch Albom
But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
