From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To do mathematics is to engage in an act of discover and conjecture, intuition and inspiration; to be in a state of confusion - not because it makes no sense to you, but because you gave it sense and you still don't understand what your creation is up to; to have a breakthrough idea; to be frustrated as an artist; to be awed and overwhelmed by an almost painful beauty; to be alive, damn it. Remove this from mathematics and you can have all the conferences you like; it won't matter. Operate all you want, doctors:your patient is already dead

— Paul Lockhart, A Mathematician's Lament

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

— Carl Sagan, Wonder and Skepticism, The Skeptical Inquirer
