Experience Quotes

H. P. Lovecraft

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up.

Perhaps I could best describe my experience of doing mathematics in terms of entering a dark mansion. You go into the first room and it's dark, completely dark.

Suddenly, it's all illuminated and you can see exactly where you were. Then you enter the next dark room.
