I had the idea that it would be wonderful to be a physicist or a mathematician maybe 500 years ago around the time of Newton when there were really fundamental things just lying around to be discovered.
~ David Chalmers
We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that's when we got interested in science, for a lot of us.
~ Michio Kaku
Physicists must feel they are in the most exciting field in the world. Their minds must be afire.

Doing physics is a lot of fun if you like it.
~ Ashoke Sen
When I got started in my own engineering course, my interest in physics and maths was very high. After all, engineering is all about applied maths and physics. If I were to learn anything further in physics or mathematics, it simply was not there.
~ Shiv Nadar
I need physics more than friends.
~ J. Robert Oppenheimer
I was a very good student. But I didn't have the latitude to study more. I was never allowed to do anything cross-disciplinary. Why can't an engineering student learn physics?
~ Shiv Nadar
I have this amateur side attraction to, and interest in, the sciences and biology and physics and evolution. Paleontology is of interest to me. I'm interested in the way these fields have helped us understand how we are human and why we are human.
~ Wangechi Mutu
I was always good at math and science and physics.
~ Daniel J. Evans
I do not keep up with the details of particle physics.
~ Murray Gell-Mann
Children need to be exploring their physical world. They need to be learning the fundamental laws of physics by manipulating objects.
~ David Perlmutter
The main reason why people should care about research in fundamental physics is the same reason they care about astronomy and cosmology. People, children, want to know what we're made out of, how it works, and why the universe is the way it is.
~ David Gross
There's something called From 'Alchemy to Quarks,' which will teach you everything you have to know, you want to know, about physics.
~ Sheldon Lee Glashow
There are some parts I like about school. I like math a lot, and I like physics.
~ Morgan Saylor
Chemistry seems to be pretty much nailed down, and biology gains ground all the time. But physics seems to be mired in idle rumination. They think a Big Bang started the universe, but they don't really know.
~ Jeremy Hardy
I love physics because it's neat and it's orderly in its own peculiar way.
~ Jim Peebles
I was never exposed as a kid to any real science. I read the occasional popular science book, and I loved Mechanics Illustrated, which had a lot of pseudo-science in it: It wasn't until I got to college that I began to appreciate what physics is all about, and that was really an accident also.
~ Jim Peebles
I remember being in strong physics, physiology and biology classes.
~ Barbara Block
