It's better to be dead, or even perfectly well, than to suffer from the wrong affliction. The man who owns up to arthritis in a beri-beri year is as lonely as a woman in a last month's dress.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

People are always selling the ...

People are always selling the idea that people with mental illness are suffering. I think madness can be an escape. If things are not so good, you maybe want to imagine something better.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

To some extent, people who are...

To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives.

In madness, I thought I was the most important person in the world.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I know that if I could really ...

I know that if I could really understand mental illness, then it would be appropriate to make a big career shift. I would become a therapist and a leader in terms of mental illness. But I'm not in the position.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I would not dare to say that there is a direct relation between mathematics and madness, but there is no doubt that great mathematicians suffer from maniacal characteristics, delirium and symptoms of schizophrenia.

rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's concept of his relation to the cosmos.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

Nowadays we can do computer experiments using Mathematica, and even solve a system of 42 equations. This offers another route to knowledge, rather than mere ideas.

As you will find in multivariable calculus, there is often a number of solutions for any given problem.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity.

There are things that tend to moderate with age. Schizophrenia is somewhat like that.

In a dream it's typical not to be rational.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I had been offered fellowships...

I had been offered fellowships to enter as a graduate student at either Harvard or Princeton. But the Princeton fellowship was somewhat more generous, since I had not actually won the Putnam competition... Thus Princeton became the choice for my graduate study location.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

Though I had success in my res...

Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not, eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I seem to be thinking rational...

I seem to be thinking rationally again in the style that is characteristic of scientists. However, this is not entirely a matter of joy as if someone returned from physical disability to good physical health.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I later spent... five to eight months in hospitals in New Jersey, always on an involuntary basis, and always attempting a legal argument for release.

John Nash 03.03.2018 03:03:03 18 quotes

I never saw my grandfather because he had died before I was born, but I have good memories of my grandmother and of how she could play the piano at the old house.
