In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space
Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways.
Our asymptotes no longer out of phase,
We shall encounter, counting, face to face.

Great minds run in great circles.
Jone's Law:
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone
to blame it on.
The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a bit longer.
-- Henry Kissinger
Screw up your courage! You've screwed up everything else.

G. B. Shaw to William Douglas Home: "Go on writing plays, my boy. One
of these days a London producer will go into his office and say to his
secretary, `Is there a play from Shaw this morning?' and when she says
`No,' he will say, `Well, then we'll have to start on the rubbish.' And
that's your chance, my boy."
