"Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you look into it."
— Richard Feynman
Nobody Ever Figures Out What Life
Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you look into it.
About this quote
This reflection is attributed to Richard Feynman in various collections and is consistent with the spirit of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (1985) — his memoir of adventures in curiosity, from safecracking at Los Alamos to studying ant trails. No specific documented source within that book has been identified for this exact phrasing. Feynman's conviction that curiosity and exploration were sufficient reasons to live was consistent throughout his public lectures and interviews.
