> "If you are receptive and humble, mathematics will lead you by the hand. Again and again, when I have been at a loss on how to proceed, I have just had to wait until I have felt the mathematics led me by the hand.

It has led me along an unexpected path, a path where new vistas open up, a path leading to new territory, where one can set up a base of operations, from which one can survey the surroundings and plan future progress." - Paul Dirac, in The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, by Graham Farmelo.
