Sometimes one has to say difficult things, but one ought to say them as simply as one knows how.
G.H. Hardy
I have had my results for a long time; I do not know yet how to arrive at them.

G.H. Hardy
Mathematics reveals its secrets only to those who approach it with pure love.
Archimedes

Joseph Fourier (1768-1830)
If I have seen further, it is because I have stood on the shoulders on giants.
