Unfortunately I have never been good in math. Numbers simply do not interest me or seem as real to me as words.

Peter Cameron

The first night Stephen and I slept together, he whispered numbers into my ear: long, high numbers — distances between planets, seconds in a life. He spoke as if they were poetry, and they became poetry. Later, when he fell asleep, I leaned over him and watched, trying to picture a mathematician's dreams. I concluded that Stephen must dream in abstract, cool designs like Mondrian paintings.
