Erdös’s Philosophy 

“You know, all those rules that may be perfectly correct for normal people, make no sense for prodigies. To say that Bach should pay any attention to how he was socially adjusted is just a bad joke. It is obvious that this is secondary.”

“I never wanted material possessions. There is an old Greek saying that the wise man has nothing he cannot carry in his hands. If you have something beautiful, you have to look out for it, so I would rather give it away. I always say ‘Private property is a nuisance’.”

“Another roof, another proof.”
