I Think It Is The General Rule

As Time Goes On, It Becomes Increasingly Evident That The Rules Which The Mathematician Finds Interesting Are The Same As Those Which Nature Has Chosen.

Well, In The First Place, It Leads To Great Anxiety As To Whether It's Going To Be Correct Or Not ... I Expect That's The Dominating Feeling. It Gets To Be Rather A Fever... At Age 60, When Asked About His Feelings On Discovering The Dirac Equation.

Just By Studying Mathematics We Can Hope To Make A Guess At The Kind Of Mathematics That Will Come Into The Physics Of The Future... If Someone Can Hit On The Right Lines Along Which To Make This Development, It May Lead To A Future Advance In Which People Will First Discover The Equations And Then, After Examining Them, Gradually Learn How To Apply Them... My Own Belief Is That This Is A More Likely Line Of Progress Than Trying To Guess At Physical Pictures.

In Science One Tries To Tell People, In Such A Way As To Be Understood By Everyone, Something That No One Ever Knew Before. But In Poetry, It Is The Exact Opposite.

A Great Deal Of My Work Is Just Playing With Equations And Seeing What They Give.
