I'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still there, or if anyone would notice.

My work is always very geometric.

While in college, I used to get my ideas from photographs in 'National Geographic.' I started painting palm trees and motorboats.

Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.

I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.

Geometry was the first exciting course I remember.

It's very productive scientifically; I often get some very good ideas for my research while hiking.

I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect.

I remember, as a kid, I'd follow the rooster and the chickens and watch what type of grass they'd eat. And me and my friends would eat that grass, like that was our lunch.

At school, if I was ever bored in class, I would draw maps of islands or detailed interior of boats or lists of provisions and equipment I would need when I went camping in the summer.
