One of my favorite moments from the Sequences (for I think of them as an era in time as much as a collection of essays) was this line:
How could little billiard balls be angry? Tiny frowny faces on the billiard balls?
which caused me to burst into uproarious laughter the first time I read it.
Something about that line is just genius. It put the idea into such clear relief that it felt like a “click” moment, despite the fact that the point being explained was one I already understood well.
