Don't Write Naughty Words On The Wall

I Always Like To Make Explicit The Fact That Before I Went Off Not Too Long Ago To Fight In The Trenches, I Was A Mathematician By Profession. I Don't Like People To Get The Idea That I Have To Do This For A Living. I Mean, It Isn't As Though I Had To Do This, You Know, I Could Be Making, Oh, Three Thousand Dollars A Year Just Teaching.

I Find Enough Mystery In Mathematics To Satisfy My Spiritual Needs. I Think, For Example, That Pi Is Mysterious Enough (don't Get Me Started!) Without Having To Worry About God. Or If Pi Isn't Enough, How About Fractals? Or Quantum Mechanics?

"life Is Like A Sewer - What You Get Out Of It Depends On What You Put Into It." It's Always Seemed To Me That This Is Precisely The Sort Of Dynamic, Positive Thinking That We So Desperately Need Today In These Trying Times Of Crisis And Universal Brouhaha.

Don't Drink The Water And Don't Breathe The Air!

Once The Rockets Are Up, Who Cares Where They Come Down?
