Zitat des Tages über Wahnhaft / Delusional:

I would finally renounce my delusional hypotheses and revert to thinking of myself as a human of more conventional circumstances and return to mathematical research.

If you are delusional, sometimes the reality catches up with your delusion, and then all of a sudden you are a genius.

You have to believe in yourself. But you know what? There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being delusional.
