A mathematician’s life is one of failures and unsolved problems. And that is where you learn. You have to learn to live with failure.

— Alessio Figalli

Quella del matematico è una vita fatta di fallimenti e di problemi non risolti. Ed è lì che impari. Devi imparare a convivere con il fallimento.

More quotes by Alessio Figalli

Nature tends, in a way, to follow a mathematical path.

Great discoveries often arise out of a love of knowledge. Because someone takes an abstract interest in a problem, which only later becomes the focus of many practical applications.

In a world where everything is unpredictable, mathematics brings peace of mind. There is something eternal about it, because once a theorem has been proven, it remains so forever. It is a creative and ever-evolving discipline.
