“The Professor never really seemed to care whether we figured out the right answer to a problem. He preferred our wild, desperate guesses to silence, and he was even more delighted when those guesses led to new problems that took us beyond the original one. He had a special feeling for what called the "correct miscalculation," for he believed that mistakes were often as revealing as the right answers.” — Yōko Ogawa
