Lev Landau

“BEWARE, HE BITES!”

“People who hear of some extraordinary phenomenon start proposing to explain it with improbable hypotheses. First consider the simplest explanation: that it's all nonsense.”

“A method is more important than a discovery, since the right method will lead to new and even more important discoveries.”

“In the 1930s Landau was already saying, "I am one of the few universal physicists"; after the death of Enrico Fermi, this became "I am the last of the universal physicists".”

“Perhaps the greatest triumph of the human genius is that one can understand things that he can no longer imagine.”

“This work contains many things which are new and interesting. Unfortunately, everything that is new is not interesting, and everything which is interesting, is not new.”

“Главное, делайте всё с увлечением, это страшно украшает жизнь.”
