"In mathematics, the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it."
"The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful."
- GEORG CANTOR
"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes;
he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.”
- CONFUCIUS
"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.”
"Do not worry too much about your difficulties in mathematics, I can assure you that mine are still greater.”
