Quotes by Marcus du Sautoy (?)

“Mathematics has beauty and romance. It's not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It's an extraordinary place; it's worth spending time there.”
― Marcus du Sautoy

“One of the most curious consequences of quantum physics is that a particle like an electron can seemingly be in more than one place at the same time until it is observed, at which point there seems to be a random choice made about where the particle is really located. Scientists currently believe that this randomness is genuine, not just caused by a lack of information. Repeat the experiment under the same conditions and you may get a different answer each time.”
― Marcus du Sautoy, The Great Unknown: Seven Journeys to the Frontiers of Science

“The knowledge of what we are ignorant of seems to expand faster than our catalogue of breakthroughs.”
― Marcus du Sautoy, What We Cannot Know: Explorations at the Edge of Knowledge
