“The essence of mathematics lies precisely in its freedom.”

I entertain no doubts as to the truths of the tranfinites, which I recognized with God’s help and which, in their diversity, I have studied for more than twenty years; every year, and almost every day brings me further in this science.

In mathematics, the art of asking questions is more valuable than solving problems.

The transfinite numbers are in a sense the new irrationalities they stand or fall with the finite irrational numbers.

Mathematics is entirely free in its development, and its concepts are only linked by the necessity of being consistent, and are co-ordinated with concepts introduced previously by means of precise definitions.

Don’t always blindly follow guidance and step-by-step instructions; you might run into something interesting.

Every transfinite consistent multiplicity, that is, every transfinite set, must have a definite aleph as its cardinal number.

My beautiful proof lies all in ruins.

There is no doubt that we cannot do without variable quantities in the sense of the potential infinite. But from this very fact the necessity of the actual infinite can be demonstrated.

This view of the infinite, which I consider to be the sole correct one, is held by only a few. While possibly I am the very first in history to take this position so explicitly, with all of its logical consequences, I know for sure that I shall not be the last!

A set is a Many that allows itself to be thought of as a One.

Had Mittag-Leffler had his way, I should have to wait until the year 1984, which to me seemed too great a demand!

Mathematics, in the development of its ideas, has only to take account of the immanent reality of its concepts and has absolutely no obligation to examine their transient reality.

The potential infinite means nothing other than an undetermined, variable quantity, always remaining finite, which has to assume values that either become smaller than any finite limit no matter how small, or greater than any finite limit no matter how great.

A false conclusion once arrived at and widely accepted is not easily dislodged and the less it is understood the more tenaciously it is held.

The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds.

It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is

I have no limits. I cannot be contained because I am the container.

In order to realize a world free of nuclear weapons, we must fulfill our mission to pass on the memories of the atomic bomb across national borders and generations without fading.

You’ll be free or die!

I realised fashion is nothing but freedom of expression.

Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever.

Be whatever you want to be.

Free speech gives us the ability to react vigorously with effective arguments and expose the weakness and misdirection of the other side’s claims.
