“The tantalizing and compelling pursuit of mathematical problems offers mental absorption, peace of mind amid endless challenges, repose in activity, battle without conflict, “refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings," and the sort of beauty changeless mountains present to sense tried by the present-day kaleidoscope of events.”
― Morris Kline

“All mathematical proofs must be deductive. Each proof is a chain of deductive arguments, each of which has its premises and conclusion.”
― Morris Kline, Mathematics for the Nonmathematician
