The fact that the climate is getting warmer doesn't scare me at all. There's no reason why one should be scared.
Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions.
When things get too complicated, it sometimes makes sense to stop and wonder: Have I asked the right question?
We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us.
If they had not murdered Malcolm X, there probably never would have been a Black Panther Party.
A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Nuclear weapons are intrinsically neither moral nor immoral, though they are more prone to immoral use than most weapons.
If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven?
Seven years is a long time, and he was there for me, when my mum died. He was very compassionate at that time. I couldn't have found anyone better in that situation.
The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science.
My training in Science of Mind had begun with my mother. She took me to a different church every Sunday, and she encouraged me to question the minister afterward.
The developing science departs at the same time more and more from its original scope and purpose and threatens to sacrifice its earlier unity and split into diverse branches.
And the continuity of our science has not been affected by all these turbulent happenings, as the older theories have always been included as limiting cases in the new ones.
Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know, evolution is about as certain as anything we know.
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.
As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us - aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.
In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics.
If men are wont to play with swearing anywhere, can we expect they should be serious and strict therein at the bar or in the church.
So much the worse, it may be, for a particular meeting: but the meeting is the individual, which on evolution principles, must be sacrificed for the development of the race.
A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures.
