Maryam Mirzakhani

"The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers."

"I don’t think that everyone should become a mathematician, but I do believe that many students don’t give mathematics a real chance."

"It's not only the question, but the way you try to solve it."

"I think it's rarely about what you actually learn in class it's mostly about things that you stay motivated to go and continue to do on your own.""
