[Mathematics] is security. Certainty. Truth. Beauty. Insight. Structure. Architecture.

Whether it is differential topology, or functional analysis, or homological algebra, it is all one thing. ... They are intimately interconnected, they are all facets of the same thing. That interconnection, that architecture, is secure truth and is beauty. That's what mathematics is to me.
