Quote by Mark Haddon
Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.
Summary
This quote suggests that prime numbers represent a form of pure logic that exists independent of any recognizable pattern. It draws a comparison between prime numbers and life, implying that while they possess a logical structure, their rules and behaviors cannot be fully comprehended no matter how much one may contemplate them. Both prime numbers and life are perceived as complex entities that defy complete understanding, requiring a level of acceptance for the unknown and emphasizing the intrinsic beauty and mystery that arises from patterns and logic.
