And it is a mistake to think that a mathematical idea can survive merely because it is useful, because it has practical applications. On the contrary, what is useful varies as a function of time, while “a thing of beauty is a joy forever” (Keats). Deep theory is what is really useful, not the ephemeral usefulness of practical applications! - Gregory Chaitin, mathematician and computer scientist
