Day 52

Hardy, G.H.

I still say to myself when I am depressed, and find myself forced to listen to pompous and tiresome people, ‘Well, I have done one thing you could never have done, and that is to have collaborated with both Littlewood and Ramanujan on something like equal terms’.

A Mathematicians Apology (Cambridge University Press; 149, reprinted 1967) p. 148
