The Ancient One:
You cannot beat a river into submission - you have to surrender to its currents, and use it's power as your own.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
I control it by surrendering control?
That doesn't make any sense.
The Ancient One:
Not everything does.
Not everything has to.
Your intellect has taken you far in life, but it will take you no further.
Surrender, Stephen - Silence your ego, and your power shall rise.
I tell people that all the time.
All the time.
Especially Scientists, Engineers, Mechanics, anyone who works with money, stocks, or bonds and processes financial transactions; anyone whose dominant patterns of thought are largely preoccupied with numbers, weights and measures and the axioms of classical Euclidian Geometry - they never have a clue what that means, what I just said or what the hell I am even talking about.
All that they know is The Mathematics, Angles and Ratios, that's all they are able to see and that's all that they think exists.
Whereas, I fail dismally when it comes to The Mathematics - I understand The Physics.
I understand The Dead Cat.
