Thoughts on Mathematics and Logic.

Logic is invincible, because in order to combat logic it is necessary to use logic.
 
                                                             Pierre Leon Boutroux

In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value
than solving it.
                                                             Georg Cantor

You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.
                                                             Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Thus metaphysics and mathematics are, among all the sciences that belong to
reason, those in which imagination has the greatest role.

independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?
                                                             Albert Einstein

Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things
which are beyond it.
                                                             Blaise Pascal

[Mathematics] is an independent world created out of pure intelligence.
                                                             William Wordsworth

Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we
are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.
                                                             Bertrand Russell

The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to
learn.
                                                             Cicero

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
                                                             Roald Dahl

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is
shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
                                                             Albert Einstein
