"When I was a child, my mother told me not to look directly at the sun. At the age of six, I raised my head and opened my eyes to the sun. The doctor didn't know if I would go blind, and I fell into endless fear in the darkness of loneliness. Slowly, The sun seeped into the bandage and I regained my sight, but a part of me was forever changed. That day was the first headache of my life."
(When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly daylight crept in through the bandages, and I could see, but something else had changed inside of me. That day I had my first headache.)

When you give up scientific verification, you will no longer be a mathematician, you are just a number worshiper By."
(You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere. As soon as you discard scientific rigor, you're no longer a mathematician, you're a numerologist.)
