“This is beauty, love, and truth all rolled into one. This is joy. And now that I’ve found it, how can I give it up? Life and work are the most wonderful things a man can have.I am in love with what I am doing, because the answer to this problem is right here in my mind, and soon-very soon-it will burst into consciousness. Let me solve this problem. I pray God it is the answer I want, but if not, I will accept any answer at all and try to be grateful for what I had.“
