One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies. ↗

Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no man can hasten or retard. ↗

My beautiful proof lies all in ruins. ↗

Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions. ↗

To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers. ↗

Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth. ↗

Mathematicians are born, not made. ↗

I had changed from being a mathematician to a practicing scientist. I was increasingly embarassed that I could no longer follow some of the more modern branches of pure mathematics. ↗

My intention here is to make it clear that not a single cell of my composition, here in regard to The Raven, is found by chance or intuition, that the composition moved towards perfection with the precision and inevitability of a mathematical equation. ↗

Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity. ↗
