Finnish composer Jean Sibelius was born on December 8, 1865 in Hämeenlinna, Finland. He said, “I do not think of a symphony only as music in this or that number of bars, but rather as an expression of a spiritual creed, a phase in one's inner life." [I haven’t written a symphony yet. Perhaps I could string together a few songs.]... Mr. Sibelius died in 1957 in Järvenpää, Finland.
Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős was born on March 26, 1913 in Budapest, Hungary. He said, “A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems." [Oh, I get it.]... Mr. Erdős died in 1996 in Warsaw, Poland.
