“She told us the two sides of an equation are in love with each other. To stay in love, they have to maintain their balance. What one loses, the other must lose. What one accepts, the other must accept. I felt like she defined love and algebra for me at the same time.”
― Ethan Chatagnier, Singer Distance

“Dear Rick,

I've never thought math was a miracle. The things we study simply are. They were the rules of the universe before we were here to understand them. They operate the world behind the curtain, whether we look behind it or not. The rules are already there. Music is a miracle. It adds something to the world that didn't have to be here. Language is a miracle. Every sentence ever spoken and every song ever sung is a new invention. Not only do they add something new to the world, they transmit thoughts and emotions that would otherwise be locked within one person. I hear a song and feel something a composer felt 200 years ago. I read your letter and hear your voice saying the words. I feel you in the room with me. That's the miracle.”
