If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living

Point set topology is a disease from which the human race will soon recover.

It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover. To know how to criticize is good, to know how to create is better.

There are no solved problems; there are only problems that are more or less solved.

The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Doubt everything or believe everything: these are two equally convenient strategies. With either we dispense with the need for reflection.

It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.

Geometry is the art of correct reasoning from incorrectly drawn figures.

I'm not a walking extra in a Chekhov play; I'm no Slavic gloom or Irish gloom. I mark only the happy hours, like the sundial, because otherwise I would have gone nuts.

I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.

Coquetry is the champagne of love.
