Every one of my works, when I'm looking back, becomes some kind of solution, or something to concentrate on. Something to pay attention to and maybe change direction.

My work is about helping humanity.

I always was alone. And I'm alone today. It's fine. I have lots of friends, but not in terms of working together.

The tree is made by nature, mathematics by people. And combining the two is creating this beautiful alliance between humanity and nature. That's why my forests are mathematical expansion systems, all of them.

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.

There's no precedent for women philosophers and there's no precedence for most of the things I did.

When I'm gone, you'll be sitting in a cafe and say, "Do you remember Agnes?"
