“At any moment there is only a fine layer between the 'trivial' and the impossible. Mathematical discoveries are made in this layer.”
A.N. Kolmogorov

“The most common issue from this difficulty among mathematicians that avoid philosophy is limitation of the domain of “existence”. [. . . ]. This position — though the most placid one — suffers from unprincipledness, which is expressed most evidently in the fact that bounds of what each mathematician is “ready to admit” depend on his personal interests.”
A.N. Kolmogorov

“The fact that I have solved a problem is a purely subjective fact that in itself has as yet no general interest. However, the logical and mathematical problems possess the special property of the general validity of their solutions: If I have solved a logical or a mathematical problem, then I can present this solution in a way that is intelligible to all and it is necessary that it be recognized as a correct solution although this necessity has to a certain extent an ideal character, for it presupposes a sufficient intelligence on the part of the listener.”
A.N. Kolmogorov
