A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns.  If his/her patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas...

The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colors or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way.

Beauty is the first test; there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.

G.H. Hardy
