"I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect."
Conviction
"I have had my results for a long time: but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them."
Result
"It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment."
Knowledge
"I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where half proof = 0, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible."
Doubt
