One of my favourite stories about André Weil from the book "The Music of the Primes" written by Marcus du Sautoy:
> He wrote to his wife, Eveline, on April 7, 1940, telling her, 'My mathematics work is proceeding beyond my wildest hopes, and I am even a bit worried - if it is only in prison that I work so well, will I have to arrange to spend two or three months locked up every year?'
