I am self-studying upper-division/early-graduate level physics in order to take the GATE exam. I find this site invaluable.

Here's a nice quote I came across:

"The spectacle of the universe seems all the more grand and beautiful and worthy of its Author, when one considers that it is all derived from a small number of laws laid down most wisely." -Maupertuis, 1746
