In my opinion a mathematician, in so far as he is a mathematician, need not preoccupy himself with philosophy-an opinion, moreover, which has been expressed by many philosophers.

More quotes by Henri Lebesgue
The only teaching that a professor can give, in my opinion, is that of thinking in front of his students.
Henri Lebesgue
... if one were to refuse to have direct, geometric, intuitive insights, if one were reduced to pure logic, which does not permit a choice among every thing that is exact, one would hardly think of many questions, and certain notions ... would escape us completely.
Henri Lebesgue
