Created set theory and theory of transfinite numbers
Quotes by Georg Cantor
The infinite is not a vague concept, but a precise mathematical entity.
I have dared to venture into the realm of the infinite.
The transfinite numbers are a testament to the power of human reason.
My theory of sets is a fundamental contribution to the foundations of mathematics.
The actual infinite is a concept that has been misunderstood for centuries.
I have opened the door to a new understanding of the infinite.
The transfinite numbers are a beautiful and elegant creation.
My work has been a struggle against prejudice and misunderstanding.
The infinite is not a barrier, but an opportunity.
I have shown that there are different sizes of infinity.
The transfinite numbers are a logical necessity.
My theory of sets is a powerful tool for mathematical analysis.
The actual infinite is a concept that will revolutionize mathematics.
My theory is so true that I can prove it by means of the most rigorous logic.
I protest against the use of infinite as a finished quantity, which is not allowed in mathematics. Infinity is only a variable quantity, which can be increased indefinitely.
I am so convinced of the truth of my theory that I would like to see it universally accepted.
The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the truly great, even if it is right in front of one's eyes.
I am not a philosopher, but a mathematician, and I have no interest in philosophical discussions.
I am not afraid of the infinite, but I am afraid of those who are afraid of the infinite.
My work is like a journey through a beautiful garden, where I discover new flowers at every turn.
