Before one can generalize, formalize, and axiomatize, there must be a mathematical substance.

You can not apply mathematics as long as words still becloud reality.

In geometric and physical applications, it always turns out that a quantity is characterized not only by its tensor order, but also by symmetry.

A modern mathematical proof is not very different from a modern machine, or a modern test setup: the simple fundamental principles are hidden and almost invisible under a mass of technical details.

Can't you just like a girl who likes you back?''None of them likes me back. I may as well like the one I really want.

Back from where? you're not going out again and leaving me here are you?? Holy Hercules I sound like somebody's wife
