I think Veblen had an interest in logic.

I think that after Church got his Ph.D. he studied in Europe, maybe in the Netherlands, for a year or two.

I went to Princeton in the fall of 1930 as a half-time instructor.

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

The job in Wisconsin was the first genuine offer of an academic job in a university which I received.

Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s.

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.

I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.

It wasn't until my second year that I got to actually work with Church.

I don't think Post often came to Princeton during the '30s. I can't remember ever seeing him in Princeton.

I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe.

You are positively beautiful and I love you. Pass it on…

I reached for her through the darkness, but she was gone. Like dominoes folding over, the rest of the mirrors collapsed down on top of me. The impact caused the world around me to vanish.

It was one of those rare occasions when the true story is even more strange and exciting than the wild rumours.

I have to recognize that I am agnostic.

A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem.

The basis of all education is to learn by doing.

If you have it and you know you have it, then you have it. If you have it and don't know you have it, you don't have it. If you don't have it but you think you have it, then you have it.

Everyone knows that if you buy chocolate with spare change, then the calories don't count.

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.

I'm just trying to do my best every day, hoping that I have done my best every day, and its very easy in a way, but also it's not that easy. Every day counts.
