Nash's remarks at the Nobel Prize Ceremony
Nash: Thank you.
I have always believed in numbers, equations and logic leading to rationality. But after a lifetime of pursuit, I asked myself, "What is logic? Who decides to be rational? "
My exploration took me through the physical, metaphysical and delusional, and then came back. I have made the most important discovery in my career and in my life: only in the mysterious love equation can I find any logic or reason. I am here tonight because of you (his wife, Alicia). You are the reason for my existence. You are my whole reason.
Thank you.
I have always believed that numbers, whether equations or logic, lead us to think, but after my lifelong pursuit, I asked myself what logic is, who will decide the reason, and my exploration ... made me go back and forth from metaphysics to metaphysics and finally to paranoia, so I made the most important breakthrough in my career and found the most important person in my life, only in this mysterious love equation.
