For scholars and laymen alike it is not philosophy but active experience in mathematics itself that can alone answer the question: What is mathematics?

Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.

For every question, there is an answer.
Where everybody fails is by asking the wrong question.

Spectroscopy can probably answer the question, 'Is there anybody out there?' Are we alone?

For any question – regardless of its complexity – there is a clear and simple answer.

You shouldn’t ask a question until you are sure you want to hear the answer.
