“It appeared that way, Lawrence, but this raised the question of was mathematics really true or was it just a game played with symbols? In other words—are we discovering Truth, or just wanking?”

“In a way, mathematics is the only infinite human activity. It is conceivable that humanity could eventually learn everything in physics or biology.
