Quotes
- “After all, what is art? Art is the creative process and it goes through all fields. Einstein’s theory of relativity — now that is a work of art! Einstein was more of an artist in physics than on his violin. Art is this: art is the solution of a problem which cannot be expressed explicitly until it is solved.”
- “Losing one gloveis certainly painful,but nothingcompared to the pain,of losing one,throwing away the other,and findingthe first one again.”
- “There is one art, no more, no less: to do all things with art- lessness.”
- “Living is a thing you do now or never — which do you?”
- “As eternity is reckoned there's a lifetime in a second.”

Encyclopedic overview
Piet Hein (16 December 1905 – 17 April 1996) was a Danish polymath (mathematician, inventor, designer, writer and poet), often writing under the Old Norse pseudonym Kumbel, meaning "tombstone". His short poems, known as gruks or grooks (Danish: gruk), first started to appear in the daily newspaper Politiken shortly after the German occupation of Denmark in April 1940 under the pseudonym "Kumbel Kumbell". He also invented the Soma cube and the board game Hex.
