No one shall expel us from the paradise that Cantor has created for us.

The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality.

Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.

If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven?

No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man; no other idea has so fruitfully stimulated his intellect; yet no other concept stands in greater need of clarification than that of the infinite.

The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science.

Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.

No one shall expel us from the paradise that Cantor has created for us.

Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with meaningless marks on paper.

One can measure the importance of a scientific work by the number of earlier publications rendered superfluous by it.

A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street.

Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.

Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself.

The infinite! No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man.

If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology.

How thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler methods which, at the same time, assist in understanding earlier theories and in casting aside some more complicated developments.

He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks in the most part in vain.

Geometry is the most complete science.

Geometry like arithmetic requires for its logical development only a small number of simple fundamental principles. These fundamental principles are called the axioms of geometry.

Mathematics is a game played according to certain rules with meaningless marks on paper.

Some people have got a mental horizon of radius zero and call it their point of view.

A worker's paradise is a consumer's hell.

As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape.

When government disappears, it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone, other interests will take their place.

The symbolic view of things is a consequence of long absorption in images. Is sign language the real language of Paradise?

I would say my theme has always been paradise lost, always the lost cause, the lost leader, the lost utopia.
