I was on the mathematics faculty at M.I.T. from 1951 through until I resigned in the spring of 1959.
You don't have to be a mathematician to have a feel for numbers. 
I later spent ... five to eight months in hospitals in New Jersey, always on an involuntary basis, and always attempting a legal argument for release.
To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives. 
In madness, I thought I was the most important person in the world.
In a dream it's typical not to be rational.
