Aldous Huxley
“Or consider another field where one can use games to implant an understanding of basic principles. All scientific thinking is in terms of probability. The old eternal verities are merely a high degree of likeliness; the immutable laws of nature are just statistical averages. How does one get these profoundly unobvious notions into children’s heads? By playing roulette with them, by spinning coins and drawing lots. By teaching them all kinds of games with cards and boards and dice.”
Aldous Huxley, Island

Richard P. Feynman
“She was told she had typhoid fever. Right away, as I still do today, I looked up the disease in medical books and read all about it.”
Richard P. Feynman, "What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character
