description

It seems to me that the mathematicians of today understand each other far too little and that they do not take an intense enough interest in one another. They also seem to know—so far as I can judge—too little of our classical authors (Klassiker); many, moreover, spend much effort working on dead ends. “ David Hilbert to Felix Klein, 24 July 1890
