I have a limited intelligence and I've used it in a particular direction.

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

My friends and I had taken dancing lessons, although none of us would ever admit it. In those depression days, a friend of my mother was trying to make a living by teaching dancing in the evening, in an upstairs dance studio. There was a back door to the place, and she arranged it so the young men could come up through the back way without being seen.

Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that's the end of you.

If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.

So, ultimately, in order to understand nature it may be necessary to have a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships. But the real reason is that the subject is enjoyable, and although we humans cut nature up in different ways, and we have different courses in different departments, such compartmentaliz ation is really artificial, and we should take our intellectual pleasures where we find them.
