Andrew Wiles on doing mathematics: "Perhaps I can
best describe my experience of doing mathematics in
terms of a journey through a dark unexplored
mansion. You enter the first room of the mansion and
it's completely dark. You stumble around bumping into
the furniture, but gradually you learn where each piece
of furniture is. Finally, after six months or so, you
find the light switch, you turn it on, and suddenly it's
all illuminated. You can see exactly where you
were. Then you move into the next room and spend another
six months in the dark. So each of these breakthroughs,
while sometimes they're momentary, sometimes over a
period of a day or two, they are the culmination
of---and couldn't exist without---the many months of
stumbling around in the dark that precede them."
