Quotes
- “Last time, I asked: "What does mathematics mean to you?" And some people answered: "The manipulations of numbers, the manipulation of structures." And if I had asked what music means to you, would you have answered: "The manipulation of notes?"”
- “I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.”
