"i like you" notes.......

[thoreau]

Sent to me by David this morning:

From Hilbert by Constance Reid - a biography about famous mathematician David Hilbert (pictured right),

"It seems that there was a mathematician who had become a novelist. 'Why did he do that?' people in Göttingen marvelled. 'How can a man who was a mathematician write novels?'

'But that is completely simple,' Hilbert said. 'He did not have enough imagination for mathematics, but he had enough for novels.' "

That is the loveliest yet simultaneously geekiest 'i like you' note I've ever received.

WOOT!
