“Most of the time I’m just sitting there, in an almost detached manner, thinking: `Well, here’s another day’s wastebasket full of paper. Nothing’s come through. Maybe another day. Maybe I should stay up tonight and try some more.´ Over and over again I keep working at it, trying to understand something which after months or even years turns out to be so simple that I should have seen it in the first ten minutes. Why does it take so long?”, H. Robbins.

“As a professor of mathematics I am practically required by the ethics of the profession to be absent-minded, unmethodical, and inconsistent in many ways fatal to bibliographical excellence.”, L. C. Karpinski.
