Just because you see pictures of glaciers falling into the ocean doesn't mean anything bad is happening. This is something that happens all the time. It's part of the natural cycle of things. We know from measurements that glaciers have been melting for 200 years at least.

We must be careful not to discourage our twelve-year-olds by making them waste the best years of their lives preparing for examinations.

For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.

I think the biggest misconception is that everybody has to learn mathematics. That seems to be a complete mistake.

Mathematics is really an art, not a science.

I like people who are working on practical things and who are working in teams. It's not so important to get the glory. It's much more important to get something that works. It's a better way to live.

Boiled down to one sentence, my message is the unboundedness of life and the unboundedness of human destiny.
