“The man who is striving to solve a problem defined by existing knowledge and technique is not, however, just looking around.

He remains poised, steadfast, serene.”

“I am so in favor of the actual infinite that instead of admitting that Nature abhors it, as is commonly said, I hold that Nature makes frequent use of it everywhere, in order to show more effectively the perfections of its Author.”
