“Envy is a passion so full of cowardice and shame that nobody ever had the confidence to own it.”
“Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.”
