Mathematics is not a language, it's an adventure

There is nothing as dreamy and poetic, nothing as radical, subversive, and psychedelic, as mathematics.

A good problem is something you don't know how to solve. That's what makes it a good puzzle and a good opportunity.

It is the story that matters, not just the ending.

Mental acuity of any kind comes from solving problems yourself, not from being told how to solve them.

Doing mathematics should always mean finding patterns and crafting beautiful and meaningful explanations.

Mathematics is the purest of the arts, as well as the most misunderstood.

[Math] curriculum is obsessed with jargon and nomenclature seemingly for no other purpose than to provide teachers with something to test the students on.

The only thing I am interested in using mathematics for is to have a good time and to help others do the same.

Mathematicians enjoy thinking about the simplest possible things, and the simplest possible things are imaginary.

My thoughts are quiet, but not calm. There is a terror on the edge of the silence, a terror fed by my burning flesh and the stench of death.

A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.

I've been saying all along that my biggest fear is that someone would program a machine to give a wrong answer. If that were to happen, the machine would still work fine - we just wouldn't know it.

You are so beautiful to me.

For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.

Until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship.

You know, I find it very strange when movies that I made that were just excoriated - I mean that I was just vilified for - are now looked at as classics.

A Passage to India. It is my favourite movie.

The less Hillary Clinton speaks, the less she's seen, the higher her numbers go.
