I Would Rather Have Questions That

This sentiment is attributed to Richard Feynman in paraphrased form from his lectures and conversations, and closely reflects his stated epistemology. In his 1981 BBC Horizon interview The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, Feynman explicitly said he preferred living with uncertainty to having answers he could not justify. His broader view — that science is the organized acceptance of ignorance as a starting point — ran through his Caltech lectures and The Character of Physical Law (1965).
