My favorite Richard Feynman quote:

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts".

The above has served me well every time I hear people trying to use consensus to silence unpopular opinions.

Sadly, Dick died the year before I started attending Caltech. I got Physics 1 from Dr. Goodstein instead, but the legacy of Richard Feynman still perseveres at the halls of Caltech today. He was a truly great man.
