Text Quotes
A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas (G H Hardy Quotes)
Good work is not done by ‘humble’ men (G H Hardy Quotes)
Most people can do nothing at all well (G H Hardy Quotes)
Bombs are probably more merciful than bayonets (G H Hardy Quotes)
The case for my life... is this: that I have added something to knowledge, and helped others to add more (G H Hardy Quotes)
If I could prove by logic that you would die in five minutes, I should be sorry you were going to die, but my sorrow would be very much mitigated by pleasure in the proof (G H Hardy Quotes)
The fact is there are few more popular subjects than mathematics. Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune (G H Hardy Quotes)
A mathematician... has no material to work with but ideas, and so his patterns are likely to last longer, since ideas wear less with time than words (G H Hardy Quotes)
They [formulae 1.10 - 1.12 of Ramanujan] must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have had the imagination to invent them (G H Hardy Quotes)
[P]ure mathematics is on the whole distinctly more useful than applied. For what is useful above all is technique, and mathematical technique is taught mainly through pure mathematics (G H Hardy Quotes)
Reductio ad absurdum, which Euclid loved so much, is one of a mathematician’s finest weapons. It is a far finer gambit than any chess play: a chess player may offer the sacrifice of a pawn or even a piece, but a mathematician offers the game (G H Hardy Quotes)
Greek mathematics is the real thing. The Greeks first spoke a language which modern mathematicians can understand... So Greek mathematics is ‘permanent’, more permanent even than Greek literature (G H Hardy Quotes)
Cricket is the only game where you are playing against eleven of the other side and ten of your own (G H Hardy Quotes)
Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative subject; no one can draw much consolation from it when he has lost the power or the desire to create; and that is apt to happen to a mathematician rather soon. It is a pity, but in that case he does not matter a great deal anyhow, and it would be silly to bother about him (G H Hardy Quotes)
If a man is in any sense a real mathematician, then it is a hundred to one that his mathematics will be far better than anything else he can do, and that it would be silly if he surrendered any decent opportunity of exercising his one talent in order to do undistinguished work in other fields. Such a sacrifice could be justified only by economic necessity of age (G H Hardy Quotes)
A person’s first duty, a young person’s at any rate, is to be ambitious, and the noblest ambition is that of leaving behind something of permanent value. (G H Hardy Quotes)
Cricket is the only game where you are playing against eleven of the other side and ten of your own. (G H Hardy Quotes)
It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. (G H Hardy Quotes)
A science is said to be useful if its development tends to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth, or more directly promotes the destruction of human life. (G H Hardy Quotes)
The theory of numbers, more than any other branch of mathematics, began by being an experimental science. Its most famous theorems have all been conjectured, sometimes a hundred years or more before they were proved; and they have been suggested by the evidence of a mass of computations. (G H Hardy Quotes)
I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art (G H Hardy Quotes)
Young men should prove theorems, old men should write books (G H Hardy Quotes)
For any serious purpose, intelligence is a very minor gift (G H Hardy Quotes)
A chess problem is an exercise in pure mathematics (G H Hardy Quotes)
Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative subject (G H Hardy Quotes)
A person’s first duty, a young person’s at any rate, is to be ambitious, and the noblest ambition is that of leaving behind something of permanent value (G H Hardy Quotes)
317 is a prime, not because we think so, or because our minds are shaped in one way rather than another, but because it is so, because mathematical reality is built that way (G H Hardy Quotes)
No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world (G H Hardy Quotes)
A science is said to be useful if its development tends to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth, or more directly promotes the destruction of human life (G H Hardy Quotes)
If intellectual curiosity, professional pride, and ambition are the dominant incentives to research, then assuredly no one has a fairer chance of gratifying them than a mathematician (G H Hardy Quotes)
