Piet Hein quotes
Piet Hein was a Danish polymath, known as a poet, mathematician, designer, and inventor. His "grook" short poems and innovative inventions, like the superellipse, brought him international fame. He influenced both the arts and sciences through his creative thinking and interdisciplinary work. Here are 38 of his quotes:
Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,
and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.
No - not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you're passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you're hoping.
Piet Hein
