A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of
patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is
because they are made with ideas.

I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent
of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and
so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think
that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
