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."

"Face your fears with courage."

"You can't live your life in fear."

"Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"

"Fear is just another obstacle to overcome."
