The Goon Show

The Goon Show is a radio comedy programme that was conceived by Spike Milligan, and transmitted by BBC Radio from 28 May 1951 to 28 January 1960. The Goon Show is known for its absurdist humour and surreal comedy premises, which proved to be an influence on later generation of British comedians. Milligan and Peter Sellers perform many characters, while Harry Secombe's main role is Neddy Seagoon. To write the episodes, Milligan collaborated with such writers as Larry Stephens, Eric Sykes, John Antrobus, and Maurice Wiltshire.

During the period of 1951 to 1960, BBC Radio transmitted 10 series of the programme, which amounted to 238 episodes. On 5 October 1972, BBC Radio 4 transmitted The Last Goon Show of All commissioned as part of the commemorations for the 50th anniversary of the BBC.

Template:Sic

Usage
This template, quite simply, inserts sic in a quote, with the link, italics, and brackets (which are tricky, considering the link is also in brackets) done for you. For instance:

 * The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker...
 * I was amused to be invited for a 'bear-back [sic] ride' into town

is rendered as:

 * The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker...
 * I was amused to be invited for a 'bear-back [sic] ride' into town

Explanation
The style was taken from Spellings, which previously said:

 * "add "[sic]" (with italics and brackets, without quotes)"

As explained on w:Talk:Sic, the correct style is to italicize sic, but not the brackets.

The Way We Were

The Way We Were is a 1973 film about two lovers driven apart by their political differences.
 * Directed by Sydney Pollack. Written by Arthur Laurents.

Everything seemed so important then .. even love! (taglines)

Hubbell Gardiner

 * [To Katie] You hold on and I don't know how. And I wish I did. Maybe you were born committed... I can't get negative enough. I can't get angry enough. And I can't get positive enough.
 * When you love someone, from Roosevelt to me, you go deaf, dumb and blind.
 * The trouble with some people is they work too hard.
 * What kind of pie?
 * [when Katie doesn't want to go to a party with Hubbell's friends] Maybe something terrible will happen - maybe you'll have a good time.
 * [Katie proposes chucking politics in order to save their marriage] You're unhappy unless you do something. Because of me, you're trying to lay out, but that's wrong... wrong for you. Commitment is part of you. Part of what makes you attractive, part of what attracted me to you.
 * You think you're easy? Compared to what, the Hundred Years' War?

Katie Morosky Gardiner

 * Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.
 * Happy Rosh Hashana.

Dialogue

 * Hubbell: [discussing advocacy for political causes] I don't see how you can do it.
 * Katie: And I don't see how you can't.

 * Katie: You'll never find anyone as good for you as I am, to believe in you as much as I do or love you as much!
 * Hubbell: I know that.
 * Katie: Well then, why?

 * Katie: I don't have the right style for you, do I?
 * Hubbell: No, you don't have the right style.
 * Katie: I'll change.
 * Hubbell: No, don't change, you're your own girl, you have your own style.
 * Katie: But then I won't have you. Why can't I have you?
 * Hubbell: Because you push too hard, every damn minute. There's no time to ever relax and enjoy living. Everything's too serious to be so serious.
 * Katie: If I push too hard it's because I want things to be better, I want us to be better, I want you to be better. Sure I make waves you have I mean you have to. And I'll keep making them till you're everything you should be and will be. You'll never find anyone as good for you as I am, to believe in you as much as I do, or to love you as much.
 * Hubbell: I know that.
 * Katie: Well, then why?
 * Hubbell: Do you think if I come back it's going to be okay by magic? What's going to change? What's going to be different? We'll both be wrong. We'll both lose.
 * Katie: Couldn't we both win?

 * Katie: Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were old? Then we could say we survived all this. Everything thing would be uncomplicated, the way it was when we were young?
 * Hubbell: Katie, it was never uncomplicated.

 * Hubbell: A... two cheeseburgers and four Cokes.
 * Katie: Onion?
 * Hubbell: Yeah, in the Cokes.

 * Hubbell: You never give up, do you?
 * Katie: Only when I'm absolutely forced to. But I'm a very good loser...
 * Hubbell: Better than I am.
 * Katie: Well, I've had more practice.

 * Hubbell: I’m telling you that people—people are more important than any goddamn witch hunt. You and me! Not causes. Not principles.
 * Katie: Hubbell, people are their principles.

Taglines

 * Everything seemed so important then .. even love!
 * Some memories last forever.
 * Streisand and Redford together!

Andrew Wiles

Sir Andrew John Wiles  (born 11 April 1953) is an English mathematician at Oxford University in number theory. He is most famous for finally proving Fermat's Last Theorem.

Quotes

 * I think I'll stop here.
 * After finishing writing the proof to Fermat's Last Thereom (June 23, 1993), as quoted by

Nova Interview
Nova has an online interview transcript called: Solving Fermat: Andrew Wiles
 * I grew up in Cambridge in England, and my love of mathematics dates from those early childhood days.
 * I loved doing problems in school. I'd take them home and make up new ones of my own.
 * But the best problem I ever found, I found in my local public library. I was just browsing through the section of math books and I found this one book, which was all about one particular problem -- Fermat's Last Theorem.
 * Here was a problem, that I, a ten year old, could understand and I knew from that moment that I would never let it go. I had to solve it.
 * I realized that anything to do with Fermat's Last Theorem generates too much interest.
 * I really believed that I was on the right track, but that did not mean that I would necessarily reach my goal.
 * Young children simply aren't interested in Fermat. They just want to hear a story and they're not going to let you do anything else.
 * Fermat couldn't possibly have had this proof.
 * I don't believe Fermat had a proof. I think he fooled himself into thinking he had a proof.
 * But what has made this problem special for amateurs is that there's a tiny possibility that there does exist an elegant 17th-century proof.
 * Fermat was my childhood passion.
 * I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future.
 * But perhaps that's always the way with math problems, and we just have to find new ones to capture our attention.
 * Certainly one thing that I've learned is that it is important to pick a problem based on how much you care about it.
 * However impenetrable it seems, if you don't try it, then you can never do it.
 * Always try the problem that matters most to you.
 * I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream.
 * I know it's a rare privilege, but if one can really tackle something in adult life that means that much to you, then it's more rewarding than anything I can imagine.

Quotes about Wiles

 * Originally the Kolyvagin-Flach method only worked under particularly constrained circumstances, but Wiles believed he had adapted and strengthened it sufficiently to work for all his needs. According to Katz this was not necessarily the case, and the effects were dramatic and devastating. The error did not necessarily mean that Wiles's work was beyond salvation, but it did mean that he would have to strengthen his proof. The absolutism of mathematics demanded that Wiles demonstrate beyond all doubt that his method worked for every element of every E-series and M-series.

Ultimate Spider-Man (video game)

Ultimate Spider-Man is a video game based on the comic book of the same name by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. The game was released in 2005 for the PC, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and the Nintendo DS.

 * Venom eats the boy. This is a reference to a frustrating occurrence during the Spider-Man 2 video game based on the film, where a randomly, yet frequent occurring goal has a small child lose their balloon & the player has to retrieve it.

Hell of a Mess

 * Venom: HUNGER. FEED!
 * Wolverine: Ya don't say?
 * Wolverine brings his claws out

 * Wolverine: See these claws? Unbreakable. You? Bet not.

 * Wolverine: Bub, you have no idea how big a mistake you just made.

*Venom climbs up the wall*

 * Wolverine: What the Hell are you trying to do?!

Like a Rhinoceros, but Bigger

 * *Spider-Man sees Rhino hunched over*
 * Spider-Man: Hey, you! Is that a rhinoceros horn or are you just ha-ppy... to see...
 * Rhino stands up straight & Spidey realises how big Rhino actually is
 * Spider-Man: I am so scared I can't even finish my lame joke.

 * Spider-Man: Why not a guy dressed up as a teddy bear who gives hugs? How about that, huh? Just once, a huggy-bear instead of a big rhino or-or a scorpion?

 * Spider-Man: [Weakly] Oh, that's a boo-boo...

Inexpugnable

 * Spider-Man: Wet cement, big crazy guy, wrecking ball? This gives me an idea.

Mine

 * Venom: MINE!
 * Electro: Like hell! I had dibs!

 * Spider-Man: Hey! Are you fighting another superhero on the side other than me? I thought we had something special. I bet it's Daredevil, isn't it? What does he have that I-
 * Electro: Back off, kid!

*After Electrocuting Spider-Man*

 * Electro: ...I did it! I finally got that little yutz!

Cool Suit

 * Spider-Man: (Referring to Beetle) There's something you don't see every day. Well, almost every day. Not every day.

 * Spider-Man: Cool suit. Where'd you get it?

*swings out of frame, then back in*
 * Spider-Man: And by cool, I mean bulky and cumbersome.

 * Spider-Man: Are we playing catch because you SUCK AT IT!

18 & Over

 * Spider-Man: How does it feel to get your butt kicked by a fifteen year old kid?!

 * Spider-Man: Aww, lil' fella's all tuckered out.

 * Spider-Man: Why don't you hit yourself for a minute while I go get a glass of water.

 * Spider-Man: (Singing) The fist bone's connected to the face bone!

 * Spider-Man: [After being thrown through the roof of a building] Okay, I have officially run out of ways to say "Ow".

 * Spider-Man: [When fighting the Green Goblin, referring to his fireballs] Only you can prevent Spider-Man fires!

 * Green Goblin: PARKER! SEAR THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES!

 * Spider-Man: [When fighting the Green Goblin/While racing him] Ah, you big nudnik!

The Great Escape

 * Venom: Parker... is MINE! Mine! And you can't have him!

 * Silver Sable: I'm glad your loose Brock. I can kick your ass good and proper now.

Rescue

 * Spider-Man: Crazy-silver-hottie threatens my family, I should let Eddie eat her! He'd be doing me a favour! Oh, but then I'd feel guilty about that too, because, clearly, I don't have enough things to feel guilty about. So here I am, trying to save the crazy woman. If my life were any more stupid, it would be on network TV.

Brothers

 * Eddie Brock: (After Carnage pushes him over) Oh my God! I... know... (Venom's voice) ... YOU! PARKER!

The Final Battle

 * Spider-Man: Eddie, Trask doesn't wanna play!

 * Spider-Man: Oh I swear I'm gonna smack those giant teeth out of your head if you don't knock it off!

 * Venom: I know how to control the suit now... isn't that what you wanted?

 * Venom: You used me.

 * Trask: You're gonna tip us over!

 * Eddie Brock: Mr. Trask! I have been looking forward to this!
 * Trask: Eddie? I can't... believe...
 * Eddie Brock: You know what I can't believe? I can't believe that, after all the things you did, all the things you made me do, that, after all of that, all you got was three years in a golf-course prison!
 * Trask: [panicked] You can't do anything to me in here! The guards!
 * Venom: They aren't nearly well-armed enough! [Venom lunges at Trask]

Pre-race

 * Spider-Man: I have come to reclaim the honor of my family name!
 * Human Torch: What?
 * Spider-Man: I was watching "Fist of Legend" last night.

 * Human Torch: Heh, I knew you'd come back.
 * Spider-Man: Just came by to say: I won the last one!
 * Human Torch: You did not!
 * Spider-Man: I won! You lost!
 * Human Torch: You so did not!
 * Spider-Man: Aaaand, the one before that.
 * Human Torch: Not a big fan of reality, are you?

During the race

 * Human Torch: Madam Web's faster than you, and I don't even get the reference!
 * Spider-Man: Speedball's faster than you!
 * Spider-Man: Darkhawk's faster than you!
 * Spider-Man: If you played more video games, you'd make those turns better.
 * Spider-Man: That feeling that just overwhelmed you; that's losing!

Post race

 * Spider-Man: HA! Now I own you!

 * Spider-Man: Now I get to hit on your sister, right?

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Yf. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Yf~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Henri Michaux

Henri Michaux (24 May 1899 – 18 October 1984) was a Belgian writer and painter.

Quotes

 * A man who knows neither how to travel nor how to keep a journal has put together this travel journal. But at the moment of signing he is suddenly afraid. So he casts the first stone. Here.
 * Preface to Ecuador (1929)

 * No, I have already said it elsewhere. This earth has had all the exoticism washed out of it. If in a hundred years we have not established contact with some other planet (but we will), or, next best, with the earth's interior, humanity is finished. There is no longer a means of living, we explode, we go to war, we perpetrate evil of all sorts; we are, in a word, incapable of remaining any longer on this rind. We are in mortal pain; both from the dimensions as they now stand, and from the lack of any future dimension to which we can turn, now that our tour of the earth has been done to death. (These opinions, I know, are quite sufficient to have me looked down upon as a mind of the fourth order.)
 * Ecuador (1929)

 * It is almost an intellectual tradition to pay heed to the insane. In my case those that I most respect are the morons.
 * Ecuador (1929)

 * A mind of a certain size can feel only exasperation toward a city. Nothing can drive me more fully into despair. The walls first of all, and even then all the rest is only so many horrid images of selfishness, mistrust, stupidity, and narrow-mindedness. No need to memorize the Napoleonic code. Just look at a city and you have it.  Each time I come back from the country, just as I am starting to congratulate myself on my calmness, there breaks out a furor, a rage...  And I come upon my mark, homo sapiens, the acquisitive wolf. Cities, architectures, how I loathe you! Great surfaces of vaults, vaults cemented into the earth, vaults set out in compartments, forming vaults to eat in, vaults for sex, vaults on the watch, ready to open fire. How sad, sad...
 * Ecuador (1929)

 * You can love a woman. To admire her is hard. You are not dealing with something important.
 * Ecuador (1929)

 * In my night, I besiege my King. I rise up steadily and I wring his neck.  He regathers his strength, I come back at him, and wring his neck another time.  I shake him, shake him like an old prune tree, and his crown trembles on his head.  But nevertheless, he is my King, I know it and he knows it, and it is quite certain that I am at his service.
 * Mon Roi, in La nuit remue (1935)

 * It is preferable not to travel with a dead man.
 * La Nuit des Bulgares in Plume (1938) (Used as introductory line in Jim Jarmusch's film "Dead Man".)

 * I started publishing small poetry plaquettes. They were about 200 copies. Then I went up to 2 thousand and now I have reached 20 thousand. Last week a publisher suggested that I publish my books in a collection that runs 100,000 copies. I refused: what I want is to return to the 200 from the beginning.
 * Quoted by Octavio Paz in “Don Juan Teachings,” 30th year anniversary, spanish edition, prologue. Cambridge, Mass., september the 15th, (1973.)

Quotes about

 * Henry Michaux has been very important for me, with his Voyage en Grande Garabagne. Michaux was considered a poet but I find his work absolutely narrative. He would have been a flash fiction author today.
 * Ana María Shua Interview (2015)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jasonsewall. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jasonsewall~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Strange Meeting (book)

Strange Meeting (1971) is a novel by Susan Hill about the First World War. The title of the book is taken from a poem by the First World War poet Wilfred Owen.

Part I

 * He thought I want to go back for there was nothing for him here.
 * Then he thought that he could hear the thudding of the guns. But there were so many noises now, imagined or remembered.
 * He tried not to count over all the possible ways in which, after tomorrow, he was going to die.
 * She was like the others. Understood nothing.
 * He knew that when he left here, he would not be able to believe that it would all continue to exist.
 * …pieces of a past belonging to some stranger.
 * There is no one that knows. Don’t go.
 * He thought, we need him, he has something that none of us have.
 * He was almost beside himself in a rush of dread on Barton’s behalf.

Part II

 * Had seen that Barton has appalled by the sight of Feurvy, as he had not been by the sight of the dead pilot in the crashed plane.
 * We can imagine it thats all.
 * But wasn’t Harris better off? For would he not have gone through terror after terror in the front line, only to meet a death less sudden, more painful, more clearly foreseen?
 * But I have been ashamed of myself for getting so thoroughly hardened so quickly.
 * They seem like some dream country which we inhabited long ago.
 * John says one of the most difficult things is getting used to new faces, new faces.
 * Oh it was like meeting ghosts.
 * This agony of feeling on behalf of someone else was entirely new to him.
 * His initial excitement had gone long since.
 * He wanted to take the body …  and dig a grave for him… for would that have been more purposeful, would he have done the first thing of vague since coming into this war?
 * Isn’t that why you read him to try and make some sense of all this?
 * The War? I shouldn’t think that’s possible.
 * I’ve been trying…give it a point and purpose when there are none.
 * That day it hit me, that I’d been feeling nothing. I’d become entirely callous.
 * You can’t feel everyman’s death.
 * I’m afraid of myself, of what I’m becoming.
 * I love you John.

Part III

 * We are drones not fighting men.
 * John says he may have a head to lose but certainly not a heart.
 * He can’t wait to get his bayonet into someone, which I find very chilling, and more so because he is basically a nice chap.
 * the old familiar stumps of rotten black teeth.
 * It is the constant possibility of accident which erodes ones courage most of all.
 * There will never be another war.
 * Men could never be so stupid, John! After all this!
 * We had better not start building castles in Spain.
 * The letters were so full of formal expressions of love and sympathy.

André Weil

André Weil (6 May 1906 – 6 August 1998) was one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, whether measured by his research work, its influence on future work, exposition or breadth. He is known for his foundational work in number theory and algebraic geometry. He was a founding member, and de facto the early leader, of the influential Bourbaki group. The philosopher Simone Weil was his sister.

Quotes

 * ... the geometry over p-adic fields, and more generally over complete local rings, can provide us only with local data; and the main tasks of algebraic geometry have always been understood to be of a global nature. It is well known that there can be no global theory of algebraic varieties unless one makes them "complete", by adding to them suitable "points at infinity," embedding them, for example, in projective spaces. In the theory of curves, for instance, one would not otherwise obtain such basic facts as that the number of poles and zeros of a function are equal, of that the sum of residues of a differential is 0.
 * "Number-theory and algebraic geometry." In Proc. Intern. Math. Congress, Cambridge, Mass., vol. 2, pp. 90–100. 1950. (quote from p. 94)

 * God exists since mathematics is consistent, and the Devil exists since we cannot prove it.
 * As quoted in Mathematical Circles Adieu (Boston 1977) by H Eves

 * First rank scientists recruit first rank scientists, but second rank scientists tend to recruit third rank scientists, third rank scientists recruit fifth rank, and so on. If the director of the Department is genuinely interested in preserving the high quality of his Institute, he must exercise all of his power to put things in their right place, otherwise the deterioration process is destined to diverge indefinitely.
 * As quoted in Comic Sections (Dublin 1993) by D MacHale

 * An important point is that the p-adic field, or respectively the real or complex field, corresponding to a prime ideal, plays exactly the role, in arithmetic, that the field of power series in the neighborhood of a point plays in the theory of functions: that is why one calls it a local field.
 * as translated by Martin H. Krieger "A 1940 letter of André Weil on analogy in mathematics." Notices of the AMS 52, no. 3 (2005) pp. 334–341, quote on p. 340

 * It is hard for you to appreciate that modern mathematics has become so extensive and so complex that it is essential, if mathematics is to stay as a whole and not become a pile of little bits of research, to provide a unification, which absorbs in some simple and general theories all the common substrata of the diverse branches if the science, suppressing what is not so useful and necessary, and leaving intact what is truly the specific detail of each big problem. This is the good one can achieve with axiomatics (and this is no small achievement). This is what Bourbaki is up to.
 * as translated by Martin H. Krieger "A 1940 letter of André Weil on analogy in mathematics." Notices of the AMS 52, no. 3 (2005) pp. 334–341, quote on p. 341

 * About ancient mathematics (whether Greek or Mesopotamian) and medieval mathematics (Western or Oriental), the would-be historian must of necessity confine himself to the description of a comparatively small number of islands accidentally emerging from an ocean of ignorance, and to tenuous conjectural reconstructions of the submerged continents which at one time must have bridged the gaps between them.
 * Number Theory: An approach through history from Hammurapi to Legendre (Springer, 2006), p. 3

The Apprenticeship of a Mathematician (1992)

 * Every mathematician worthy of the name has experienced, if only rarely, the state of lucid exaltation in which one thought succeeds another as if miraculously, and in which the unconscious (however one interprets this word) seems to play a role. In a famous passage, Poincaré describes how he discovered Fuchsian functions in such a moment. About such states, Gauss is said to have remarked as follows: "Procreare jucundum (to conceive is a pleasure)"; he added, however, "sed parturire molestum (but to give birth is painful)." Unlike sexual pleasure, this feeling may last for hours at a time, even for days. Once you have experienced it, you are eager to repeat it but unable to do so at will, unless perhaps by dogged work which it seems to reward with its appearance. It is true that the pleasure experienced is not necessarily in proportion with the value of the discoveries with which it is associated.
 * p. 91
 * In comparison with the wise man, the saint is perhaps just a specialist - a specialist in holiness; whereas the wise man has no specialty. This is not to say, far from it, that Dehn was not a mathematician of great talent; he left behind a body of work of very high quality. But for such a man, truth is all one, and mathematics is but one of the mirrors in which it is reflected - perhaps more purely than it is elsewhere.
 * p. 52
 * Hopf, back from Amsterdam, was teaching Brouwer's topology. He had helped arrange lodgings for me quite close to where he lived, rather far from the center of town, and together we would take the long tram ride to the university. One day I asked him what he would do when he got tired of topology. He replied in all seriousness: "But I'll never get tired of topology!"
 * p. 53
 * I began to combine this ordinary form of touring with a specifically mathematical variety. I had formed the ambition of becoming, like Hadamard, a "universal" mathematician: the way I expressed it was that I wished to know more than non-specialists and less than specialists about every mathematical topic. Naturally, I did not achieve either goal.
 * p. 55
 * Is it mere coincidence that in India Pāṇini's invention of grammar had preceded that of decimal notation and negative numbers, and that later on, both grammar and algebra reached the unparalleled heights for which the medieval civilization of the Arabic-speaking world is known?
 * p. 20
 * Both the Jews and the brahmins of southern India are communities that, for twenty centuries, have devoted themselves tirelessly to the most abstract subtleties of grammar and theology. For the Jews it was the study of the Talmud, a task often passed down from father to son; for the brahmins, it was the Brahmanas and the Upanishads. It is hardly surprising that the younger generations, when their time came, turned toward the sciences, and preferably the most abstract among them: this trend was merely the natural extension of millennial traditions.
 * p. 80
 * [On meeting Raymond Paley] At first, we seemed to be on completely different wavelengths. Finally, it became apparent to me that he worked fruitfully only when competing with others: having the rest of the pack at his side spurred him to greater efforts as he tried to surpass them. In contrast, my style was to seek out topics that I felt exposed me to no competition whatsoever, leaving me free to reflect undisturbed for years. No doubt every scientific discipline has room for such differences of temperament. What does it matter if a given researcher is motivated primarily by hopes of winning the Nobel prize? Sometimes it seems to me that Ganesh, the Hindu god of knowledge, chooses the bait, noble or vulgar, best suited to each of his followers.
 * p. 94
 * I had also, unsuccessfully, looked for the works of Saint John of the Cross. The flashing beauty of his poems would probably have moved me more than did Saint Theresa, but it was not until much later that I came to know his work. I read a little of Saint Theresa and became quickly convinced that mystic thought is at bottom the same in all times and places: reading Suzuki's popular works on Zen was soon to confirm this conclusion. ... Speaking of a saint whose behavior was somewhat eccentric, one of the monks remarked gently: "But Christianity is madness" ("el cristianismo es una locum"). This perfectly orthodox statement often comes to mind when I think about my sister's life.
 * p. 99
 * Awaiting me upon my return to Strasbourg were Henri Cartan and the course on "differential and integral calculus," which was our joint responsibility. ... One point that concerned him was the degree to which we should generalize Stokes' formula in our teaching. ... In his book on invariant integrals, Elie Cartan, following Poincare in emphasizing the importance of this formula, proposed to extend its domain of validity. Mathematically speaking, the question was of a depth that far exceeded what we were in a position to suspect. ... One winter day toward the end of 1934,1 thought of a brilliant way of putting an end to my friend's persistent questioning. We had several friends who were responsible for teaching the same topics in various universities. "Why don't we get together and settle such matters once and for all, and you won't plague me with your questions any more?" Little did I know that at that moment Bourbaki was born.
 * p. 99-100
 * [ Otto Schmidt] called together the principal mathematicians in Moscow and Petrograd (later known as Leningrad) and spoke to them more or less as follows: "Whatever the regime, the work of mathematicians is too inaccessible to laymen for us to be criticized from the outside; as long as we stick together, we will remain invulnerable."
 * p. 108
 * The major classic texts in analysis (Jordan, Goursat) which we had at first set out to replace aimed to set forth in a few volumes everything a beginning mathematician should know before specializing. At the end of the nineteenth century, such a claim could still be made seriously; by now it had become absurd. ... it soon became apparent that there was no alternative but to give up any idea of writing a text for college-level instruction. Above all it was important to lay a foundation that was broad enough to support the essential core of modern mathematics...
 * p. 113
 * In establishing the tasks to be undertaken by Bourbaki, significant progress was made with the adoption of the notion of structure, and of the related notion of isomorphism. Retrospectively these two concepts seem ordinary and rather short on mathematical content, unless the notions of morphism and category are added. At the time of our early work these notions cast new light upon subjects which were still shrouded in confusion: even the meaning of the term "isomorphism" varied from one theory to another. That there were simple structures of group, of topological space, etc., and then also more complex structures, from rings to fields, had not to my knowledge been said by anyone before Bourbaki, and it was something that needed to be said. As for the choice of the word "structure," my memory fails me; but at that time, I believe, it had already entered the working vocabulary of linguists, a milieu with which I had maintained ties (in particular with Émile Benveniste).
 * p. 114
 * Kantian ethic, or what passes for it today, has always seemed to me to be the height of arrogance and folly. Claiming always to behave according to the precepts of universal maxims is either totally inept or totally hypocritical; one can always find a maxim to justify whatever behavior one chooses. I could not count the times (for example, when I tell people I never vote in elections) that I have heard the objection: "But if everyone were to behave like you..." - to which I usually reply that this possibility seems to me so implausible that I do not feel obligated to take it into account.
 * p. 124
 * Already while at the Ecole Normale, I had been deeply struck by the damage wreaked upon mathematics in France by World War I. This war had created a vacuum that my own and subsequent generations were hard pressed to fill. In 1914, the Germans had wisely sought to spare the cream of their young scientific elite and, to a large extent, these people had been sheltered. In France a misguided notion of equality in the face of sacrifice - no doubt praiseworthy in intent - had led to the opposite policy, whose disastrous consequences can be read, for example, on the monument to the dead of the Ecole Normale. Those were cruel losses; but there was more besides. Four or more years of military life, whether close to death or far away from it - but in any case far from science -, are not good preparation for resuming the scientific life: very few of those who survived returned to science with the keenness they had felt for it. This was a fate that I thought it my duty, or rather my dharma, to avoid.
 * p. 126
 * Mozart's music, even at its most beautiful, often gives an impression of some being who, though very far above us in his incomprehensible serenity, nevertheless stops to remember us for a brief instant and comes within our reach, with gentle mockery and tender pity, to transcribe a fleeting message for us. But sometimes, in certain quartets and quintets, and in certain parts of The Magic Flute, this same being, without a thought for us, communicates with his fellow beings, and what we hear then is a world unknown to us, a world of which we are allowed only a furtive glimpse.
 * p. 132
 * (April 7) My mathematics work is proceeding beyond my wildest hopes, and I am even a bit worried - if it's only in prison that I work so well, will I have to arrange to spend two or three months locked up every year? In the meantime, I am contemplating writing a report to the proper authorities, as follows: "To the Director of Scientific Research: Having recently been in a position to discover through personal experience the considerable advantages afforded to pure and distinterested research by a stay in the establishments of the Penitentiary System, I take the liberty of, etc. etc."
 * p. 146. in a letter written to his wife from Rouen prison.
 * One day it occurred to me to measure the speed with which such rumors were propagated. All I had to do was to start one - the more preposterous the better - at one end of the stadium, and then hasten to the other end to await the results.
 * p. 160

Quotes About

 * Alexandre Grothendieck was very different from Weil in the way he approached mathematics: Grothendieck was not just a mathematician who could understand the discipline and prove important results—he was a man who could create mathematics. And he did it alone.

 * In his thesis, Weil generalized Mordell's theorem on the finite generation of the group of rational points on an elliptic curve, to abelian varieties of any dimension. Weil then hoped to use this finite generation result for the rational points on the jacobian of a curve to go on to show that when a curve of genus > 1 is imbedded in its jacobian, only a finite number of the rational points of the jacobian can lie on the curve. Not finding a way to do this, he decided to call his proof of finite generation (the "theorem of Mordell-Weill") a thesis, despite Hadamard's advice not to be satisfied with half a result!
 * Barry Mazur: (quote from p. 7)

At Home with André and Simone Weil (2010)

 * Sometimes my sister and I dream of having a run-of-the-mill father. He would make coffee and toss salads. He would not prefer his work to us, and he would tell us instead: "How pretty you look, my dear, tell me what you did today." He would speak to us with words of affectionate banality.

 * Yes, but there is the problem. It would have been banal. Mediocre. We had been trained to despise everything which was not excellent. How disgusting to see the father of one of our classmates or friends on vacation playing cards or, even worse, sitting on the sofa watching television. We blush with shame for our unfortunate little friend.
 * From At home with André and Simone Weil by Sylvie Weil, p. 30 (translated by Benjamin Ivry)

 * When he was not busy doing math, he reads fat books covered with rough leather, on the pages of which can be seen very old, perfectly round holes dug out by medieval worms. Or else he passes through a museum while devoting himself to unbelievably profound notions about Van Gogh's paintings or Greek amphorae.
 * From At home with André and Simone Weil by Sylvie Weil, p. 31

 * For our genius of a father did not limit himself to math. His brain was an octopus, the tentacles of which extended in all directions. He could scan Latin verse and Greek verse as well, and it was as if he were hearing Homer or Theocritus in person. Not to mention the fact that he read Greek from volumes filled with characters which in no way resembled the ones in our Greek grammar or book of excerpts from Greek literature. He also read Sanskrit, with its truly bizarre letters. He spoke Italian like Dante, Spanish like Cervantes, and so for almost every living language.
 * From At home with André and Simone Weil by Sylvie Weil, pp. 31–32

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dkoehler. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dkoehler~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
