"The pursuit of pretty formulas and neat theorems can no doubt quickly degenerate into a silly vice, but so can the quest for austere generalities which are so very general indeed that they are incapable of application to any particular."

"My first mistake is to humanize God. My second mistake is to hold those wretched human characteristics up against all of the majestic things that I sense God should be. The blatant discrepancy which is certain to ensue then allows me to not only justify my rejection of Him, it grants me unbridled permission to discount His existence altogether. And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all."

"If indeed, as Hilbert asserted, mathematics is a meaningless game played with meaningless marks on paper, the only mathematical experience to which we can refer is the making of marks on paper."
Experience
"The pursuit of pretty formulas and neat theorems can no doubt quickly degenerate into a silly vice, but so can the quest for austere generalities which are so very general indeed that they are incapable of application to any particular."
Doubt
""Obvious" is the most dangerous word in mathematics."
Mathematics
"Out of fifty mathematical papers presented in brief at such a meeting, it is a rare mathematician indeed who really understands what more than half a dozen are about."
Meeting
"It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences."
Immortality
"Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality, and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things, creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness."
Art
"Time makes fools of us all. Our only comfort is that greater shall come after us."
Time
"The longer mathematics lives the more abstract - and therefore, possibly also the more practical - it becomes."
Mathematics
"I have always hated machinery, and the only machine I ever understood was a wheelbarrow, and that but imperfectly."

"The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future."
