To me, mathematics is like playing the violin. Some people can do it - others can't. If you don't have it, then there's no point in pretending.

You have this world of mathematics, which is very real and which contains all kinds of wonderful stuff. And then we also have the world of nature, which is real, too. And that, by some miracle, the language that nature speaks is the same language that we invented for mathematics. That's just an amazing piece of luck, which we don't understand.

And both are worthy of respect.
