John Nash Quotations

He's capable of doing it. He's got to be comfortable physically, and then he's got to be comfortable with the system. I think both the surgery and the new system have probably been a big adjustment for him.

I also did electrical and chemistry experiments at that time. At first, when asked in school to prepare an essay about my career, I prepared one about a career as an electrical engineer like my father. Later, when I actually entered Carnegie Tech. in Pittsburgh, I entered as a student with the major of chemical engineering.

I was just coming in hoping we could hold our place because I liked what I felt would be available at No. 5. Now that we are at three, we have improved our chance of getting a good player.

I went to M.I.T. in the summer of 1951. I had been an instructor at Princeton for one year after obtaining my degree in 1950. It seemed desirable more for personal and social reasons than academic ones to accept the higher-paying instructorship at M.I.T.

My parents provided an encyclopedia, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, that I learned a lot from by reading it as a child.

I studied mathematics fairly broadly and I was fortunate enough... also to make a nice discovery relating to manifolds and real algebraic varieties. So I was prepared actually for the possibility that the game theory work would not be regarded as acceptable as a thesis in the mathematics department and then that I could realize the objective of a Ph.D. thesis with the other results.

I think it will prove to be a good experience. Whether it translates into games or not remains to be seen. But I think it's likely that he (Webster) did some things there during games that he wasn't doing here, like driving the ball to the basket and being a little more assertive.

We want to be able to react to the market and whatever options and opportunities exist.

We are very pleased that the Wizards did not match and that Steve Blake is now part of the Trail Blazers family, ... As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a National Championship. With his two seasons at Washington, he adds to the limited experience of a young team and we know he will bring additional energy and enthusiasm to our training camp

These moves provide our organization some salary cap flexibility. While helping balance the roster, today's trade adds another big man and gives us a player who is a proven shooter in this league.

I've already had three calls today asking, 'Are you guys still ready to do business?' ... And the answer is 'Yes.' I think everybody is ready to do business. It's just that you want to make a trade that conforms to the parameters that we've set up, and those are somewhat rigid, frankly.

Ruben's a very unusual player. I don't know that I've ever been around a player like him before.

Ruben has made it clear that he didn't want to be here. It was probably not a good fit for Ruben to be here right now.

Sam has demonstrated a toughness and tenacity at the college level in the CBA, as well as in Europe, ... He will add to the intensity of our training camp and practice sessions.

Now I must arrive at the time of my change from scientific rationality of thinking into the delusional thinking characteristic of persons... But I will not really attempt to describe this long period of time but rather avoid embarrassment by simply omitting to give the details of truly personal type.

That talk is ridiculous. Those are the same people who said Chauncey Billups was a bust. The fact is, it takes a while in the NBA, and it takes a while to make the transition from high school. The bottom line is, when we drafted him, there wasn't any commitment to play him in his rookie year, he was going to sit and learn from the veterans. Yet, somehow he forced his way onto the floor through way of practices. And this year, there was no commitment to start him, but somehow he won the starting job. Then he got injured.

It is what it is. We did at least do something that will help us in the long term.

It's hard to project because we're so young, is what it boils down - and inexperienced. It's probably going to be a little rocky in the beginning, and hopefully we can generate some progress over the season.

By the time I was a student in high school... I remember succeeding in proving the classic Fermat theorem about an integer multiplied by itself p times where p is a prime.

But you see-you-you can't-so-you can't so well argue about these things. I've learned that it's better that I-I don't talk about it.

If he had broken the law, or was more culpable, perhaps. It was an accident. It wasn't an intentional violation.
