Bon mots: understanding trumps math

"I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians."
--Richard Feynman

"Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood."
--Marie Curie

Upon seeing the first quote in the class announcements, a student asked who Richard Feynmann was, although it was not clear whether this interest was due to a pro-nature or anti-math sentiment.
