The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s must be beautiful; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics. ↗

I saw exactly why it happened and why the tergiversation was inevitable but it was after dinner and I let it go. ↗
