"Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative……" — G. H. Hardy

"Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative subject; no one can draw much consolation from it when he has lost the power or the desire to create; and that is apt to happen to a mathematician rather soon. It is a pity, but in that case he does not matter a great deal anyhow, and it would be silly to bother about him."

G. H. Hardy
