Edmund Hlawka famous quotes

Die mathematische Forschung besteht aus 10% Intuition und 90% Arbeit.

The marvellous instinct with which women are usually credited seems too often to desert them on the only occasions when it would be of any real use. One would say it was there for trivialities only, since in a crisis they are usually dense, fatally doing the wrong thing. It is hardly too much to say that most domestic tragedies are caused by the feminine intuition of men and the want of it in women.

Feminine intuition, a quality perhaps even rarer in women than in men.

A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.

The most intractable of our experiences is the experience of Time-the intuition of duration, combined with the thought of perpetual perishing.

Mathematical reasoning may be regarded...

Never had any mathematical conversations with anybody, because there was nobody else in my field.

Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.

I knew that he was as reliable as a mathematical formula.

From a mathematical standpoint it is possible to have infinite space. In a mathematical sense space is manifoldness, or combinations of numbers. Physical space is known as the 3-dimension system. There is the 4-dimension system, the 10-dimension system.

Another characteristic of mathematical thought is that it can have no success where it cannot generalize.
