My source was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cd36WJ79z4 is an autotuned piece which includes footage of Feynman speaking those words, but it looks like it’s from interviews with BBC’s Horizon.
Tch! And the transcript makes it plain that I have been fooled by video editing. I suggest then the following replacement:
″...I don’t have to know an answer, I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious Universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is so far as I can tell. It doesn’t frighten me.” - RPF
[EDIT: Found to be erroneous! Sorry!]
I don’t feel frightened, not knowing things; I think it’s much more interesting.
-Richard P. Feynman
