Quotes
- “Now I understand one of the important reasons for going to college and getting an education is to learn that the things you've believed in all your life aren't true, and that nothing is what it appears to be.”
- “The answer can't be found in books — or be solved by bringing it to other people. Not unless you want to remain a child all your life. You've got to find the answer inside you — feel the right thing to do.”
- “My most absorbing interests at the present time are etymologies of ancient languages, the newer works on the calculus of variations, and Hindu history. It's amazing the way things, apparently disconnected, hang together.”
- “People resent being shown that they don't approach the complexities of the problem — they don't know what exists beyond the surface ripples.”
- “Strange about learning; the farther I go the more I see that I never knew even existed.”
