I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.
Michel de Montaigne

I tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.
Henry Brooks Adams

I think the writing of literature should give pleasure. What else should it be about? It is not nuclear physics. It actually has to give pleasure or it is worth nothing.
Stephen Greenblatt

I was always good at math and science and physics.
Daniel J. Evans

I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
Debi Thomas

I was so pleased to be at university to do physics and mathematics.
John Henry Carver

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.
John Cameron

I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.
Michael P. Anderson

I'm the son of an everyman. My father is a teacher. He teaches physics at a boys' school in Sydney.
Alex O'Loughlin

If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.
Niels Bohr

If one looks at the different problems of the integral calculus which arise naturally when one wishes to go deep into the different parts of physics, it is impossible not to be struck by the analogies existing.
Henri Poincare

If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working with people and communicate well with others, I would strongly encourage them.
John Cameron

If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it.
Murray Gell-Mann

If you miss one day in physics, that's it.
Robert Iler

In 1947 I defended my thesis on nuclear physics, and in 1948 I was included in a group of research scientists whose task was to develop nuclear weapons.
Andrei Sakharov

In 1948 I entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, undecided between studies of chemistry and physics, but my first year convinced me that physics was more interesting to me.
Burton Richter

In 1948 I was appointed to a Lectureship in Physics and in 1949 elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College.
Martin Ryle

In 1971 I returned to the University of Chicago as Professor of Physics.
James Cronin

In a previous life I wrote the software that controlled my physics experiments. That software had to deal with all kinds of possible failures in equipment. That is probably where I learned to rely on multiple safety nets inside and around my systems.
Wietse Venema

In my schooling through high school, I excelled mainly in chemistry, physics and mathematics.
