best hardest
Nerves can be useful, as they sharpen you up, make you determined to try your hardest and do your best.
longer
I actually enjoy writing longer books because you have even more to get your storytelling teeth into.
catherine children dreams favourite invalid liked lots met shared spooky tale trapped
I liked lots of 'Doctor Who' books, but my favourite tale was a spooky story about two invalid children - who've never met in the real world - who get trapped in a shared dreamscape when they fall asleep. It's called 'Marianne Dreams' by Catherine Storr.

The first Bond movie I saw at cinemas was 'For Your Eyes Only' when I was almost 10. I got into the Fleming books after watching 'A View To A Kill' a few years later.

I suppose Church's course had six or eight people in it, but I can't remember the name of even another one of them now. None of them went into logic.

Those three years ended with June 1933. At that time I left Princeton, having submitted my Ph.D. thesis.

As I say, there was this movement to try to bring philosophers and mathematicians together into an organization where they would talk to each other. An organization wasn't effective unless you had a journal. That's about all I know.
course papers published second trained until
And what I learned in Church's course. He trained us intensively in his new system, which he was just developing. Two papers were presented. I think the second paper wasn't published until well after the course was finished.

I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.
philosophy years listening
When I got to Princeton I made a point of attending the Philosophy Club and listening to the lectures, but I didn't get involved in any discussions in those clubs. I guess after the first year, I dropped that.
journey ideas europe
I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe.
philosophy splits mathematics
I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.
