Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.

The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.

The legs are the wheels of creativity.

How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.
