I see a certain order in the universe and math is one way of making it visible.

I have never written a book that was not born out of a question I needed to answer for myself.

Old age is not an illness, it is a timeless ascent. As power diminishes, we grow toward the light.

Failure would only be if you had somewhere stopped growing. As far as I can see the whole duty of the artist is to keep on growing.

Public education was not founded to give society what it wants. Quite the opposite.

We cannot afford not to fight for growth and understanding, even when it is painful, as it is bound to be.

About loving, I have little to learn from the young.
