Quote by Brouwer, Luitzen Egbertus Jan

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

"The intuitionist does not accept the axiom of the excluded middle."

"Creating mathematics is like creating poetry or music."

"The act of intuitively creating a mathematical system requires freedom of thought."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
