"We don't choose mathematics as our profession, but rather it chooses us." -- Yuri Manin

 

"I want to become an astrophysicist not because I chose it; in a way the Universe chose me... I was called by the Universe; I had no choice in that." -- Neil deGrasse Tyson

"Have you noticed that the astronomers and mathematicians are much the most cheerful people of the lot? I suppose that perpetually contemplating things on so vast a scale makes them feel either that it doesn't matter a hoot anyway, or that anything so large and elaborate must have some sense in it somewhere."  -- Dorothy L. Sayers
