Life is a process which may be abstracted from other media.

Technological possibilities are irresistible to man. If man can go to the moon, he will. If he can control the climate, he will.

Truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations.

The emphasis on mathematical methods seems to be shifted more towards combinatorics and set theory - and away from the algorithm of differential equations which dominates mathematical physics.

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin.

The calculus was the first achievement of modern mathematics and it is difficult to overestimate its importance. I think it defines more unequivocally than anything else the inception of modern mathematics; and the system of mathematical analysis, which is its logical development, still constitutes the greatest technical advance in exact thinking.
