More From Amartya Sen

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

I had been offered fellowships to enter as a graduate student at either harvard or princeton. but the princeton fellowship was somewhat more generous, since i had not actually won the putnam competition... thus princeton became the choice for my graduate study location.

An arab activist can take pride in the arab heritage of mathematics and science or he can take pride in his religion, and there's pride to be taken in both. but one of them could be exploited much more easily and has been in the context of world conflict. and the other is very difficult to do on the grounds that science and literature and mathematics have been among the uniting factors in the history of the world.
Taken Pride Heritage
When the world is mad, a mathematician may find in mathematics an incomparable anodyne. for mathematics is, of all the arts and sciences, the most austere and the most remote, and a mathematician should be of all men the one who can most easily take refuge where, as bertrand russell says, "one at least of our nobler impulses can best escape from the dreary exile of the actual world."

Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite unaffectedly, to exaggerate their own mathematical stupidity

Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. it is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. that should be reward enough.
