More quotes by Sofia Kovalevskaya
It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul.
Sofia Kovalevskaya
It seems to me that the poet has only to perceive that which others do not perceive, to look deeper than others look. And the mathematician must do the same thing.
Sofia Kovalevskaya
