-Richard Feynman
When I was just a little kid, very small in a
highchair, my father brought home a lot of little
bathroom tiles of different colours. We played with them,
my father setting them up vertically on my highchair like
dominoes, and I would push one end so they would all
go down.
Then after a while, I’d help set them up. Pretty
soon, we’re setting them up in a more complicated way:
two white tiles and a blue tile, two white tiles and a blue
tile, and so on. When my mother saw that she said,
“Leave the poor child alone. If he wants to put a blue
tile, let him put a blue tile.”
