“You realize how many people there are on this earth without a
chance? Because of where and how they were
born? Because they had no education?
Because they never had anything and never have and nobody gives a fuck .

“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.”

“The introduction of the digit 0 or the group concept was general nonsense too, and mathematics was more or less stagnating for thousands of years because nobody was around to take such childish steps...”

“THE ALIENS
from The Last Night Of The Earth Poems
you may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little
friction of distress.
they dress well, sleep well.
they are contented with
their family
life.
they are undisturbed
and often feel
very good.
and when they die
it is an easy death, usually in their
sleep.
you may not believe
it
but such people do
exist.
but i am not one of
them.
oh no, I am not one of them,
I am not even near
to being
one of
them.
but they
are there
and I am
here.”
