“There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, arabesques of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web. They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles.

The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.”
“When you are a king, you may make as many ridiculous laws as you like. That is what being a king is all about.”
“Set a thief to catch a thief.”
