| Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. |
 -- Theodore
Roosevelt |
| "Continue in scientific research, you will experience great joy from it. But you must learn to enjoy it alone. You will be a subject of astonishment to those close to you. You will not be much better understood by the scholarly world. Mathematicians have a place apart there, and even they do not always read each other." |
 -- Camille Jordan to Henri
Lebesgue |
| "He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks for the most part in vain." |
 -- David Hilbert |
| "Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light." |
 -- Dylan Thomas |
| "Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish that man would go away." |
| -- Hughes Mearns |
