Quotes by John Forbes Nash

I can see there’s a connection between not following normal thinking and doing creative thinking. I wouldn’t have had good scientific ideas if I had thought more normally.

I was in good health, but I had reached the age of 66 and beginning to get social security, but I didn’t have much of that. I had many years of unemployment before me.
