"It seems that there was a mathematician who had become a novelist. 'Why did he do that?' people in Gottingen marvelled. 'How can a man who was a mathematician write novels?' 'But that is completely simple,' Hilbert said. 'He did not have enough imagination for mathematics, but he had enough for novels.' "From Hilbert by Constance Reid.
