The best ideas come over beer.

So true, or in Erdős (and mine) case over coffee

My best ideas were before bed. It's good to prove anything then.

Sometimes even at the middle of the night, so I now have a notebook and a pen next to my bed.

That type of homeless lifestyle and great productivity were not his alone. Paul Reps, the swiss-born painter-poet was almost identical and Daichi the Japanese monk-poet was the same. Like in Van Loon's Lives, I would love to have all three as dinner guests.. the conversation would be fascinating.

Thank you for sharing that Michael, I wasn't aware of Paul Reps and Daichi. It would be interesting and valuable to have all 3 of them as dinner guests.

Thanks for this beautiful piece. Erdős is my guide in this selfish world. I know many like him are out there and this makes me happy.
