"These are not dead animals.  These are @b(operators)"

"Maybe I live in a strange world.  I'm not sure."

"You might call this Gauss's law if you grew up in some foreign neighborhood."

"This is really sloppy mathematics.  That's the best kind."

"Some of these theorems, we just want to kick their butts."
