Topic: truth
You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.
My work has always tried to unite the true with the beautiful and when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
