That particular odyssey is now over. My mind is now at rest.

I tried to fit it in with some previous broad conceptual understanding of some part of mathematics that would clarify the particular problem I was thinking about.

Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.

Always try the problem that matters most to you.

I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream.

Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity.

The definition of a good mathematical problem is the mathematics it generates rather than the problem itself.

I grew up in Cambridge in England, and my love of mathematics dates from those early childhood days.

The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.

I never use a computer.

However impenetrable it seems, if you don't try it, then you can never do it.

I m not funny, really m not !!! I just tell people the truth, and then they start laughing and say haha you are funny...but seriously m not!!!

The imperfections of religions can only be understood by their unfollowers, not followers.

I realized that cats make a perfect audience, they don't laugh at you, they never contradict you, there's no need to impress them, and they won't divulge your secrets.

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.'

Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.

I think life has a way of kicking you in the pants too, but you have to pick up and move ahead, and it certainly helps if you have a good partner in life

I have made my living bearing witness to some of the most horrific events of the end of our century, at the end of the 20th century.

Usually when you watch a film, you're just sort of biting your nails about things you could have done differently.

My eye, my brain, are images, parts of my body. How could my brain contain images since it is one image among others?

He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
