— Michael Atiyah"I think it is said that Gauss had ten different proofs for the law of quadratic reciprocity. Any good theorem should have several proofs, the more the better. For two reasons: usually, different proofs have different strengths and weaknesses, and they generalise in different directions - they are not just repetitions of each other."

I do feel I'm getting closer to the song in my head. I wasn't looking for grace. But luckily grace was looking for me.
— Edward de Bono
