Archimedes of Syracuse

They say necessity is the mother of invention. I say curiosity is the father of all good ideas.

I'm not anti-social, I'm just pro-geometry.

The only thing more predictable than the tides is human folly.

My greatest fear is not death, but an unsolved equation.

Some people chase power, I chase pi. It's far more satisfying.

I've found that the best way to understand the world is to take it apart, piece by piece.

My mirror is not for vanity, but for observing the reflection of light.

The only thing I'm truly afraid of is a dull mind.

I'm told my inventions are 'ahead of their time.' Perhaps time should try to catch up.

My greatest regret? Not having enough chalk.

They say I'm a genius. I say I'm just good at asking 'why?'

The world is a giant puzzle, and I'm just trying to find the corner pieces.

I've never met a problem that couldn't be improved with a diagram.

My legacy will not be in gold, but in the elegance of my proofs.

Some people build empires. I build theories. Far more durable, I find.

The only thing more satisfying than solving a problem is knowing you've done it with style.

I'm not ignoring you, I'm just deeply engrossed in the quadratic formula.

The universe doesn't care about your opinions, only your calculations.

My mind is a labyrinth of numbers and shapes. Visitors often get lost.

I find that a good problem is like a fine wine; it improves with age and contemplation.
