Nothing surpasses the beauty and elegance of a bad idea.

The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about.

Don't get me wrong I admire elegance and have an appreciation of the finer things in life. But to me beauty lies in simplicity.

Teach us that wealth is not elegance that profusion is not magnificence that splendor is not beauty.
