Quotes by Serge Lang (?)

“Last time I asked: 'What does mathematics mean to you?', and some people answered: "The manipulation of numbers, the manipulation of structures.' And if I had asked what music means to you, would you have answered: 'The manipulation of notes?”
― Serge Lang, The Beauty of Doing Mathematics: Three Public Dialogues

“In any book, it is impossible to avoid some mistakes, some confusion,
some incorrectness of language, and some misuse of notation. If you find
any such things in the present book, then correct them or improve them for
yourself, or write your own book.”
― Serge Lang, Basic Mathematics

“Our notion of set is too vague for the continuum hypothesis to have a positive or negative answer.”
