I'm reading the Feynman lectures on Physics at the moment. It's based on some lectures given during the early 1960's, but Feynman's flare and passion is still just as infectious now as it must have been back then, and it's certainly having a huge impact on my study of algorithms.
There are so many quotable bits, but here's one of my favourites:
'From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are of course in the new places, the places where the rules do not work - not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.'
It's all about what we don't know. That's the fun stuff!
