Theorem Quotes


Young men should prove theorems, old men should write books. - G. H. Hardy



To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well. - Albert Camus



Thus, be it understood, to demonstrate a theorem, it is neither necessary nor even advantageous to know what it means . . . . - Henri Poincare

The Open Source theorem says that if you give away source code, innovation will occur. Certainly, Unix was done this way. . . . However, the corollary states that the innovation will occur elsewhere. No matter how many people you hire. So the only way to get close to the state of the art is to give the people who are going to be doing the innovative things the means to do it. That's why we had built-in source code with Unix. Open source is tapping the energy that's out there. - Bill Joy
