[i]Perhaps I could best describe my experience of being a mathematician in terms of entering a dark mansion. One comes into the first room, and it's dark, nearly dark, and one stumbles around, bumping into the furniture... And after six months or so, you find the light switch, turn it on, and suddenly, it's all illuminated.[/i]
