Quote by Tobias Dantzig

“The letter is susceptible of operations which enables one to transform literal expressions and thus to paraphrase any statement into a number of equivalent forms. It is this power of transformation that lifts algebra above the level of a convenient shorthand.”

“Եթե մարդ ուզում է հոգեկան հանգստություն, խաղաղություն ունենալ, պետք է նախ և առաջ մահվան մտքի հետ բարեկամանա. դեպի այդ երևույթն անտարբեր դառնա: Ամեն գնով ապրելու ցանկությունը մարդուն շատ սխալներ կատարելու պատճառ է դառնում: Ես այժմ ինձ անսահման հանգիստ և խաղաղ եմ զգում, որովհետև մահվան գաղափարը չնչին բան է դարձել ինձ համար: Դրա ստրակցնող ազդեցությունից պետք է դուրս գալ. սիրելիս, սա հուսահատություն չի, այլ շատ ավելի բարձր և բարոյական տեսակի կյանք:”

“Dear Mommy I’m doing really good, I get all A’s in school And I don’t cry at bedtime anymore, Though my new mom said I could. I remember how much you hate tears, You slapped them out of me To make me strong, I think it worked. I learned to use a microscope And my hair grew two inches. It’s pretty, just like yours. I’m not allowed to clean the house, Only my own room, Isn’t that a funny rule? You say kids are so much trouble Getting born, they better pay it back. I’m not supposed to take care Of the other kids, only me, I sort of like it. I still get the hole in my stomach When I do something wrong, I have a saying on my mirror “Kids make mistakes, It’s OK,” I read it every day, Sometimes I even believe it. I wonder if you ever think of me Or if you’re glad the troublemaker’s gone, I never want to see you again. I love you, Mommy.”

“Some of us, white and black, know how great a price has already been paid to bring into existence a new consciousness, a new people, an unprecedented nation. If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name. If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own - which it is - and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.”

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. Science, for me, gives a partial explanation of life ... I do not accept your definition of faith i.e. belief in life after death ... Your faith rests on the future of yourself and others as individuals, mine in the future and fate of our successors. It seems to me that yours is the more selfish ... [as to] the question of a creator. A creator of what? ... I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our insignificant race in a tiny corner of the universe.”
