"Make your goals big and broad enough so that they never become answered prayers and boomerang to curse you."

"Goal..., let's see this year how far I can reach... and the year which is comming it will be a number above the goal number."

"There are often two sets of goals in life: those that we establish, and those that really matter."

"My goals exceed the reach of my energies, but my God exceeds the reach of my goals."

"My goals may seem impossibly far-fetched when really they're not. Break them down into steps and see how I accomplish great things. I can easily reach from A to B. I can manage from B to C. I can then make it from C to D. And so eventually, I will find my way from A to Z."

"You may give up your big dream and that is very hard! If necessary, give it up but then create a new one! Never live without big dreams because they will keep you alive in life!"

"Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity."

"The definition of a good mathematical problem is the mathematics it generates rather than the problem itself."

"I'm sure that some of them will be very hard and I'll have a sense of achievement again, but nothing will mean the same to me - there's no other problem in mathematics that could hold me the way that this one did."

"I tried to fit it in with some previous broad conceptual understanding of some part of mathematics that would clarify the particular problem I was thinking about."

"There's also a sense of freedom. I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about if all the time - when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night, and that went on for eight years."

"It's fine to work on any problem, so long as it generates interesting mathematics along the way - even if you don't solve it at the end of the day."

"Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. So even if I was on the right track, I could be living in the wrong century."
