“I spent many, many years satisfying all the requirements
[for my doctorate], as many years as possible, and I started on the thesis,” he
once said. “But I just wanted to be a grad student, it’s a wonderful life.
That’s what I wanted to be, and unfortunately, you can’t be a Ph.D. and a grad
student at the same time.”
