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."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
