“There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great things, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough. Then there are magicians, and you can have no idea how they do it. Feynman was a magician.“ — Hans Bethe (remembering that Bethe himself was a Nobel laureate.)

I’ve seen it multiple places, but the first time I saw it was in James Gleick’s biography of Feynman “Genius”.
