Alfred Adler quotes - page 3

Each generation has its few great mathematicians, and mathematics would not even notice the absence of the others. They are useful as teachers, and their research harms no one, but it is of no importance at all. A mathematician is great or he is nothing. (Alfred Adler)

Alfred Adler

And the more profound their work, the less understandable it is. View quote
