Quotes by Leila Schneps (?)

“Grothendieck did visit Paulo’s (Paulo Ribenboim) room once, and stared thunderstruck at Paulo’s enormous pile of math books. “What on earth is all that?” “That’s what I’m going to read,” said Paulo optimistically. But Grothendieck, not much of a believer in methodical study, merely responded “I bet you’ll never read that in your whole life.”

“But the problem is that these figures are not always used to convey information. As often as not, they are used to give us spin: to influence, frighten, and mislead us with the cool authority of numbers and formulas.”
― Leila Schneps, Math on Trial: How Numbers Get Used and Abused in the Courtroom
