Гриша Перельман:
Perelman repeatedly said that he had retired from the mathemacs community and no longer considered himself a professional mathematician. He mentioned a dispute that he had had years earlier with acollabarotor over how to credit the author of a particular proof, and said he was dismayed by the discipline's lax ethics. 'It is not people who break ethical standars who are regarded as aliens," he said. "It is people like me who are isolated." "Of course, there are many mathemacinians who are more or less honest. But almost all of the are conformists. They are more or less honest, but they tolerate those who are not honest."
"Either to make some ugly thing"---a fuss about the math community's lack of integrity---'or, if I didnt do this kind of thing, to be treated as a pet. Now, when I become a very conspicuoous person, I cannot stay a pet and say nothing. That is why I had to quit."
Гротендик -- на что великий математик -- сказал, что думал и become a pet.
