Quote 410 of 495
The fact that I beat a drum has nothing to do with the fact that I do
theoretical physics. Theoretical physics is a human endeavour, one of
the higher developments of human beings and this perpetual desire to
prove that people who do it are human by showing that they do other
things that a few other humans do (like playing bongo drums) is
insulting to me. I am human enough to tell you to go to hell.
-- Richard Feynmann to Tord Pramberg, January 4, 1967
