Famous quotes containing the words existence and/or theorem:
“This perceiving, active being is what I call mind, spirit, soul, or myself. By which words I do not denote any one of my ideas, but a thing entirely distinct from them, wherein they exist, or, which is the same thing, whereby they are perceived; for the existence of an idea consists in being perceived.”
—George Berkeley (16851753)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
