"Development of mathematics resembles a
fast revolution of a wheel: sprinkles of water are
flying in all directions. Fashion—it is the stream
that leaves the main trajectory in the tangential
direction. These streams of epigone works attract
the most attention, and they constitute the main
mass, but they inevitably disappear after a while
because they parted with the wheel. To remain
on the wheel, one must apply the effort in the
direction perpendicular to the main stream."
