a: mathematics ~
b: a good poem
What:
"I gave a talk in a pub the other day, and I said mathematics is like a good poem, which separates the superfluous from the essentials and then fuses the essentials into a kernel of truth. Smart people, no matter what their background is, appreciate good ideas. And some very good biologists I know like to be catholic in their views."
