``A serious threat to the very life of science is implied in the assertion that mathematics is nothing but a system of conclusions drawn from definitions and postulates that must be consistent but otherwise may be created by the free will of the mathematician. If this description were accurate, mathematics could not attract any intelligent person. It would be a game with definitions, rules, and syllogisms, without motive or goal.''

In What is Mathematics? -- R. Courant and H. Robbins, revised by I. Stewart, Oxford University Press (1996) - from the original in 1941.
