"Hold on. You have to slow down. You're losing it. You have to take a breath. Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug I had with a computer bug you might have had and some religious hogwash.

When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere."
"As soon as you discard scientific rigor, you're no longer a mathematician, you're a numerologist."
