“Throwing a small stone may have some influence on the movement of the sun"(Grigore C Moisil, “Determinism si inlantuire”, 1940)
“[…] mathematics is a science whose concepts are too breakable, too dry, too precisely limited. The disciplines of life and society, of human thinking, are fluid disciplines, with some flexibility, with concepts that are not clearly defined, but which are able to include things less strictly delimited than a mathematical definition does it.” (Grigore C Moisil, 1968)
"All that is correct thinking is either Mathematics or likely to be reduced to Mathematics." (Grigore C Moisil)
"A mathematician does Mathematics because he sees in it something beautiful, something interesting, something he likes, something to be fond of, something that affects him, something that makes him think, meditate, dream." (Grigore C Moisil)
"A theorem is a love letter to an unknown person, to that person who catches not only its explicit meaning, but all the implicit meanings." (Grigore C Moisil)
"Learning Mathematics, one learns to think." (Grigore C Moisil)
“Logic today is not only an opportunity for philosophy, but an important instrument which people must learn to use.” (Grigore C Moisil)
"No problem has borders. Any answer has many borders." (Grigore C Moisil)
"Science is formed only from affirmations and negations, though the experiencing of science is formed from questions and answers, from hunches and doubts." (Grigore C Moisil)
"The Mathematics will be the Latin language of the future, compulsory for all scientists. Just because the Mathematics allows maximum acceleration of the movement of the scientific ideas." (Grigore C Moisil)
“The spirit of modern mathematics is based on mathematical logic, mathematical linguistics, the study of formal systems and on abstract algebra.” (Grigore C Moisil)
