"Para o professor, os problemas difíceis diziam todos respeito à matemática. Lançava-se em enunciados que implicavam longas horas de concentração, e para mais ganhava prémios quando os solucionava, mas não se entusiasmava muito quando eu lhe dava os parabéns e lhe dizia que era maravilhoso.

- Não passa de um jogo - dizia ele num tom que revelava mais tristeza do que modéstia. - Os que elaboram os problemas conhecem a resposta. Resolver um problema para o qual a solução já existe, é como ir com um guia escalar um monte de que se vê o cume ao longe. A derradeira verdade da matemática está discretamente escondida de todos no final de um caminho que não é um caminho. Para mais, nem se sabe se o local é um cume. Pode ser um desfiladeiro entre duas falésias abruptas ou o fundo de um vale."
