It is indubitable that a 50-year-old mathematician knows the mathematics he learned at 20 or 30, but has only notions, often rather vague, of the mathematics of his epoch, i.e. the period of time when he is 50.
Analytical geometry has never existed. There are only people who do linear geometry badly, by taking coordinates, and they call this analytical geome… - Jean Dieudonne

The life of a mathematician is dominated by an insatiable curiosity, a desire bordering on passion to solve the problems he is studying. - Jean Dieudonne
