‘A fish-trap is for catching fish; once you've caught the fish, you can forget about the trap. A rabbit-snare is for catching rabbits; once you've caught the rabbit, you can forget about the snare. Words are for catching ideas; once you've caught the idea, you can forget about the words. Where can I find a person who knows how to forget about words so I can have a few words with him?’
    -Chuang Tzu

‘If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.’
    -John von Neumann
