Highway

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “Mathematics is not a careful march down a well-cleared highway, but a journey into a strange wilderness, where the explorers often get lost. Rigour should be a signal to the historian that the maps have been made, and the real explorers have gone elsewhere.”

• “During the brief span of their lives they walked in their native garments down the great highway of a great nation; were laughed at, sworn at, chased, and fled from. Then they passed and were heard of no more.”

• “So long as a man rides his hobbyhorse peaceably and quietly along the King's highway, and neither compels you or me to get up behind him — pray, Sir, what have either you or I to do with it?”

• “The biggest construction project in U.S. history, Boston's "Big Dig," cost about $15 billion. In fact, the entire cost of building the interstate highway system, expressed in today's dollars, was $540 billion -- less than a third of what was wasted in Iraq.”
