Quotations
596 ;;Quote: although Principia mathematica and Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory formalize all of mathematics, they contain simple, undecidable problems
| 598 ;;Quote: gives Godel's sentence; it is true because it is unprovable in the system PM
| 598+;;Quote: Godel's sentence is similar to the Liar's paradox and Richard's antimony
| 614 ;;Quote: the consistency of a recursive consistent class of formulas is not provable in the system
| 616 ;;Quote: formal systems or formalisms are the same as Turing machines
| 616+;;Quote: can not prove the consistency of any consistent formal system that contains a certain amount of number theory
