Inscriptions
side 1: …mathematicians have intellectually created an ideal world,… None has the faintest conception of this world, except he who knows it. A.PRINGSHEIM side 2: I don't know what I may seem to the world, but, as to myself, I seem to have been only as a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. ISAAC NEWTON
