If I told people that I knew what I was doing, nobody would believe me, so why even try and fake it?
I really believed that I was on the right track, but that did not mean that I would necessarily reach my goal.
I don't believe Fermat had a proof. I think he fooled himself into thinking he had a proof.
Sometimes I think the Most High believes I can shoulder the weight of 1000 stars.
I think if you live in a black-and-white world, you're gonna suffer a lot. I used to be like that. But I don't believe that anymore.
Unfortunately this Electric Monk had developed a fault, and had started to believe all kinds of things, more or less at random. It was even beginning to believe things they'd have difficulty believing in Salt Lake City.
