More From Brian Greene

You’re not exempt from math if you’re a republican, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a democrat. you’re not exempt from math if you’re a liberal, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a conservative. you still have to do math.
Math Conservative Republican
I'm a strong believer that you have to have an equal opportunity to fail and to try things that are hard. i always tell my students, "don't just take things that are easy for you. if you're really good at math, don't take just math. take classes that make you write. if you're a really great writer, but bad at math, take math and make yourself work your way through it."
Strong Writing Math
I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.
Love School Optimistic
In high school, a teacher once suggested that i be a math major in college. i thought, 'me? you've got to be joking!' i mean, in junior high, i used to come home and cry because i was so afraid of my math homework. seriously, i was terrified of math.
Teacher Home School
Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. we've strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high, and those from junior high to high school. but, that critical step taking students from high school into adulthood is badly broken. and it can no longer support the weight it must bear.
Inspirational Strength Strong
I noticed there were so many people, especially women, who would come up to me having recognized me from tv and say, 'i heard you were a math person, why math? oh my gosh, i could never do math!' i could just see their self-esteem crumbling; i thought that was silly, so i wanted to make math more friendly and accessible.

It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.
Relationship Confidence Self Esteem
The wounded heart learns self-love by first overcoming low self-esteem.

I love paul giamatti - god, that man is like a walking chekhov. his connection to humanity is unbelievable, and those feelings of low self-esteem - the way that all comes together on the screen? delicious.
