It’s fine to work on any problem, so long as it generates interesting
mathematics along the way — even if you don’t solve it at the end of the
dayThe pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple
Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can’t do in the real world
I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future.
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life isThe definition of a good mathematical problem is the mathematics it generates rather than the problem itself
