About this quote

This advice is attributed to Richard Feynman in a letter to a student, and is consistent with his documented views on education and self-directed learning. Feynman was a legendary teacher at Caltech whose approach emphasized curiosity and intuition over formal procedure. His undergraduate physics lectures — published as The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) — remain among the most widely read physics texts ever written.
