Paul Erdős

The more you think, the more you learn.

I'm just trying to understand the world.

My life is a proof.

I'm always thinking about numbers.

The beauty of mathematics is in its simplicity.

I'm a very lucky person.

I don't have time for anything but mathematics.

It is not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

I'm not saying I'm a genius. I'm saying I'm a good mathematician.

If I feel that I am going to die, I will take a large dose of caffeine. Then I will be able to think clearly for a few more hours.

I have no need for money. I have no need for a home. I have no need for a wife. I have no need for children. I have no need for anything but mathematics.

When I was young, I thought that if I could prove a theorem, I would be happy. Now I know that if I can prove a theorem, I will be happy for a short time.

I'm not good at anything else. I can't even tie my shoelaces.

The best way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

If a problem is hard, it means you are not looking at it the right way.

Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding.

I am not interested in the applications of mathematics. I am interested in the beauty of mathematics.

My mother always told me that I should marry a mathematician. But I never found one who was as good as I am.

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

It is not enough to prove a theorem. You must also understand why it is true.
