Paul Erdős

The purpose of life is to do mathematics.

If you want to understand the universe, you must start with the primes.

Mathematics is not a spectator sport.

Every time I see a mathematical proof, I feel like God is whispering secrets to me.

The Ramsey theory is like the drunk who stumbles into a lamppost but at least leans on it.

I keep a close watch on the primes; they're my friends.

Beauty in mathematics is seeing the truth.

Problems are the lifeblood of mathematics.

I travel around the world to find problems worth solving.

The devil is in the details, but so is the delight.

Infinity is not a number; it's a concept that haunts us.

Collaboration is the key to unlocking theorems.

Numbers don't lie, but they can deceive if you don't look closely.

I live for the eureka moment.

Set theory is the foundation upon which all math stands.

Humor in math is finding the unexpected pattern.

The older I get, the more I appreciate simple proofs.

Primes are the atoms of arithmetic.

Life without math is like a body without a soul.

I don't believe in aging; I believe in accumulating wisdom.
