Tobias Dantzig Quotes:
Ocupation: Mathematician
Life: February 19, 1884 - August 9, 1956
Birthday: February 19
Death: August 9
The harmony of the universe knows only one musical form - the legato; while the symphony of number knows only its opposite - the staccato. All attempts to reconcile this discrepancy are based on the hope that an accelerated staccato may appear to our senses as a legato.
