“Statistically, it would seem improbable that any mathematician or scientist, at the age of 66, would be able through continued research efforts, to add much to his or her previous achievements. However I am still making the effort and it is conceivable that with the gap period of about 25 years of partially deluded thinking providing a sort of vacation my situation may be atypical. Thus I have hopes of being able to achieve something of value through my current studies or with any new ideas that come in the future.” ThinkingYearsMayStillsIdeasSeemsWould BeAgeAbleValuesEffortSituationStudyAchievePeriodsAchievementResearchScientistAddCurrentsGapsVacationProvidingNew IdeasMathematicianImprobableHaving HopeDeluded Author:John Forbes Nash

“If this "critical openminded attitude" ... is wanted, the question at once arises, Is it science that should be studied in order to achieve it? Why not study law?
