Mathematicians enjoy thinking about the simplest possible things, and the simplestpossible things are imaginary.

There is nothing as dreamy and poetic, nothing as radical, subversive, and psychedelic, as mathematics.

A good problem is something you don't know how to solve. That's what makes it a good puzzle and a good opportunity.

Could somebody explain to me why transgender people have become so important to Barack Hussein O? I'm serious.

Nowhere is wisdom more necessary than in the guidance of charitable impulses. Meaning well is only half our duty; Thinking right is the other, and equally important, half.

Forgetfulness of grief I yet may gain;In some wise may come ending to my pain;It may be yet the Gods will have me glad!Yet, Love, I would that thee and pain I had!
