If I could relive my life, what I would do is work with scientists. But not one scientist, because they're locked into their little specializations. I'd go from scientist to scientist to scientist, like a bee goes from flower to flower.

I had drawings that were the first time that mathematics was put into visual form.

I wish I didn't have daily problems to deal with, so that I could just concentrate on learning more, every single day.

I'm mostly self-taught. I didn't learn much in school.

People are always fighting reality until it's pushed down their throats.

We use up words as we use up images. We use up everything, and that's good, because it makes us grow.

People have too many problems during the day; they don't want to think.
