The moral of my evening emerged with crystal clarity: mathematics was something infinitely more interesting than solving second-degree equations or calculating the volumes of solids, the menial tasks at which we laboured at school.
... This is a book I had read a few years back, and happened to read again a few days ago. Absolutely marvelous. To be completely honest, it should serve as a reminder to what NOT to do if one aspires to be a Mathematician. P. S. You do not need to understand profound mathematical ideas in order to enjoy this one.

“There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us.”
