Visions of Infinity: The Great Mathematical Problems by Ian Stewart http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/visions-of-infinity-ian-stewart/1112615835?ean=9780465022403 What a great book. Rarely do books go into real mathematics. This one does and gives an inkling of what real mathematicians do. One thing that this books does that few others do in the subject is to explain why some mathematical problems are famous - the solution is not what is solely important, but whether the technique used to solve it leads to some insight into the structure of mathematics itself. My favorite is the Hodge Conjecture (if I had to choose), but any one of these problems is extremely elegant and has led to amazing insights into mathematics. Well worth the read.

"Love is happy when it is able to give something. The Ego is happy when it is able to take something." - Osho More Osho quotes: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2856822.Osho My favorites: "Be - Don't try to become" - Osho âTo be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.â ― Osho Or said another way: "Nemo vir est qui mundum non reddat meliorem"
That is strange. There are lots of places to get Osho quotes. Here is his home address: http://www.osho.com/en/highlights-of-oshos-world/osho-quotes/
