Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no man can hasten or retard. ↗

Proof is an idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself. ↗

An early fascination with higher mathematics at the university level blossomed into speculative thinking that could provide a basis for dealing with economic issues. ↗

The completion of my undergraduate training at the University of California (Berkeley) provided just the needed touches of rigor at advanced levels in both economics and mathematics. ↗

Charlie's not your conventional mathematician... we sexed him up a little bit. ↗

The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry. ↗

Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true. ↗

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe - because, like Spinoza's God, it won't love us in return. ↗

Mathematics takes us into the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the actual word, but every possible word, must conform. ↗

I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar's time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is encoded. ↗
