You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.
I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me.
If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Long live impudence. It was my guardian angel in this world.
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
My success wasn't so much due to intelligence, but the fact that I stuck with problems longer.
