• ‟ I was going to engineering school but fell in love with physics.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ Is the universe 'elegant,' as Brian Greene tells us? Not as far as I can tell, not the usual laws of particle physics, anyway. I think I might find the universal principles of String Theory most elegant - if I only knew what they were.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ I have a funny mental framework when I do physics. I create an imaginary audience in my head to explain things to - it is part of the way I think. For me, teaching and explaining, even to my imaginary audience, is part of the process.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ I have always enjoyed explaining physics. In fact it's more than just enjoyment: I need to explain physics.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ Over the years, I began to understand that there were a lot of people out there reading physics in popular literature that they could not understand - not because it was too advanced, but because it wasn't advanced enough.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ Physics is perceived as a lonesome, nerdy kind of enterprise that has very little to do with human feelings and the things that excite people day-to-day about each other. Yet physicists in their own working environment are very social creatures.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ I'm doing physics because I'm curious about how it works - full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, don't worry about whether somebody is going to be able to do an experiment next week, just figure it out.

  - Leonard Susskind
  

• ‟ I often feel a discomfort, a kind of embarrassment, when I explain elementary-particle physics to laypeople. It all seems so arbitrary - the ridiculous collection of fundamental particles, the lack of pattern to their masses.

  - Leonard Susskind
