I'm writing an article about the benefits of reasoning visually, using imagery. I wanted to cite a quote by a well known physicist about how some physicists reason visually, i.e., in pictures and others reason analytically, i.e., via equations. But I can't quite remember who said it or the exact quote. I have a vague recollection that Dirac was either the person who made the quote or it was said about him, but I'm not sure about that either. Anyone remember the quote?
