"Mathematics is the surest way to immortality. If you make a big discovery in mathematics, you will be remembered after everyone else will be forgotten." (Paul Erdős)
"The purpose of life is to conjecture and prove." (Paul Erdős)
"Why are numbers beautiful? It’s like asking why is Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony beautiful?
If you don’t see why, someone can’t tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren’t beautiful, nothing is." (Paul Erdős)
