I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

I think that after Church got his Ph.D. he studied in Europe, maybe in the Netherlands, for a year or two.

I went to Princeton in the fall of 1930 as a half-time instructor.

The job in Wisconsin was the first genuine offer of an academic job in a university which I received.

I think Veblen had an interest in logic.

Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s.

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.

I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.

It wasn't until my second year that I got to actually work with Church.

I don't think Post often came to Princeton during the '30s. I can't remember ever seeing him in Princeton.

I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe.

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information it is a creative human activity.

You got shook and shook till there was nothing left. You lost your name and your body and your self and you just didn't care.

It's a sad thing to contemplate, but I'm the last surviving cast member of 'The African Queen.'

I believe that vinyl will outlast CDs.

I choose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals.

My history as a manager cannot be compared with Frank Rijkaard's history. He has zero trophies and I have a lot of them.

There are no flaws in the soul of every human being.

If you believe you are guilty and deserve to be punished, you are asking for it!

There's a whiff of the lynch mob or the lemming migration about any overlarge concentration of like-thinking individuals, no matter how virtuous their cause.

A nation of shopkeepers are very seldom so disinterested.
