I wanted to become a mathematician, physicist or astronomer.

The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.

Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions.

My focus is not on solving nature's deeper mysteries. It is on using nature's deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems.

It is smarter to borrow from nature than to reinvent the wheels.

The Connection Machines owned by the United States government laboratories were made available to me because they were considered impossible to program and there was no great demand for them at that time.

It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.
