“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”

Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving.

Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

The world is a dangerous place to live not because of the people who are evil
But because of the people who don’t do anything about it

Sigh, I'm related to some people like that.

"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

I like to stay with something too, I think this attitude is a disposition.

If I may share this with you. I remember we had a calculus problem on a test which I could not solve no matter how I approached it. That particular question stayed with me over the years and every now and then I’d make another attempt, sort of like at a crossword puzzle. Then 3 years after I graduated, in the summer while at the cottage, in a dream, the solution came to me! I was elated. But I have never used the equation for anything. (Calculating the volume of an irregular mass.)

That seems to fit the same thing I have been doing since Autumn of 1991. Lucy keeps putting down the football but when I run up to kick it I wind up on my butt as she had pulled it away yet again.

Hey, Chuck, maybe give golf a try?

“I never try to remember what I can easily look up.” May not be the exact quote but close enough.

Just my luck. An alligator would probably eat it or a despicable constant golfer would steal my game and claim my score. And the onlookers would go along with it.
