“It is a melancholy experience for a professional mathematician to find himself writing about mathematics. The function of a mathematician is to do something, to prove new theorems, to add to mathematics, and not to talk about what he or other mathematicians have done.

Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.”

Look for the whole person. Judge him as the whole person.”
“I want to express my feelings, not illustrate them.”
