“Solving a problem for which you know there¡¯s an answer is like climbing a mountain with a guide, along a trail someone else has laid. In mathematics, the truth is somewhere out there in a place no one knows, beyond all the beaten paths. And it¡¯s not always at the top of the mountain. It might be in a crack on the smoothest cliff or somewhere deep in the valley.”

“Still, being alone doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In that sense it's different from losing something. You've still got yourself, even if you lose everything else. You've got to have faith in yourself and not get down just because you're on your own.”
Yoko Ogawa, The Diving Pool: Three Novellas
