Excerpt from Scherz und Ernst in der Mathematik: Geflügelte und Ungeflügelte Worte
Ich habe mir ferner nicht verhehlt, daß eine solche Sammlung von zum beträchtlichen Teil der modernen Literatur entnommenen Citaten leicht die Gefahr bietet, Anstoß zu erregen, was unter Umständen vielleicht schon durch die Gruppierung von an sich harmlosen Worten geschehen könnte. Mehrere Citate meiner Sammlung sind daher mit Rücksicht auf noch lebende Personen fortgelassen worden. Die selbst-kompromittierung zweifellos eins der elementarsten Menschenrechte habe ich dagegen niemandem, weder Toten noch Lebenden, verwehren zu dürfen geglaubt; der Leser mag entscheiden, welche Worte er als hierher gehörig betrachten will.
