There's a kind of saying that you don't understand its meaning, 'I don't believe it. It's too crazy. I'm not going to accept it.'… You'll have to accept it. It's the way nature works. If you want to know how nature works, we looked at it, carefully. Looking at it, that's the way it looks. You don't like it? Go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler, philosophically more pleasing, more psychologically easy. I can't help it, okay? If I'm going to tell you honestly what the world looks like to the human beings who have struggled as hard as they can to understand it, I can only tell you what it looks like. Richard Feynman
About This Quote

Albert Einstein said, “The world is the way it is, the way it is because we are the way we are.” He also said, “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.” When Einstein says that you can't change the world, he means that you can't change the way people think about things.
