Algunas frases célebres:

"The introduction of the cipher 0 or the group concept was general nonsense too, and mathematics was more or less stagnating for thousands of years because nobody was around to take such childish steps..."
Alexandrer Grothendieck
"Algebraic geometry seems to have acquired the reputation of being esoteric, exclusive, and very abstract, with adherents who are secretly plotting to take over all the rest of mathematics. In one respect this last point is accurate."
David Mumford
"God exists since mathematics is consistent, and the Devil exists since we cannot prove it."
