From Chapter 1 of Herman Wouk's 2010 book The Language God Talks: On Science and Religion, words from Richard Feynman:

• "You know, while you're talking, you're not learning anything."
• "Do you know calculus? You had better learn it. It's the language God talks."

and from Chapter 3, quoted from James Gleick's 1992 biography Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman:

• "It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil — which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama."
