Die Mathematiker sind eine Art Franzosen. Spricht man zu ihnen, so รผbersetzen sie alles in ihre eigene Sprache, und so wird es alsobald etwas ganz anderes. Mathematicians are a kind of Frenchmen. Whenever you say anything or talk to them, they translate it into their own language, and right away it is something completely different.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheLay hold of life with both hands, whenever thou mayest seize it, it is interesting.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIf you have a great work in your head, nothing else thrives near it; all other thoughts are repelled, and the pleasure of life itself is for the time lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
