“For fifteen days I struggled to prove that no functions analogous to those I have since called Fuchsian functions could exist; I was then very ignorant. Every day I sat down at my work table where I spent an hour or two; I tried a great number of combinations and arrived at noresult. One evening, contrary to my custom, I took black coffee; I could not go to sleep; ideas swarmed up in clouds; I sensed them clashing until, to put it so, a pair would hook together to form a stable combination. By morning I had established the existence of a class of Fuchsian functions, those derived from the hypergeometric series. I had only to write up the results which took me a few hours.”

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”

“Coffee makes us severe, and grave, and philosophical.”

“I believe humans get a lot done, not because we’re smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee.”

“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after.”
