"The distribution of prime numbers is one of the biggest mysteries in all of math."
"Infinity is pretty big. If we counted each prime number, 2, 3, 5, 7, it would go on forever."
"The function always increases by 1 at each prime number."
"There are infinitely many prime numbers."
"Primes are faster lenses. With primes, I'm able to get faster lenses that let in more light."

"Prime numbers... integers that are only divisible by themselves and one."
"Just like the ordinary primes, Gaussian primes go on forever. And what I showed is that the Gaussian primes contain constellations of any shape."
"He showed that no matter how far you go down the number line, there will be these primes that get clumped bizarrely close together."
"No matter how far you go along, there's always going to be some bigger primes and in fact infinitely many bigger primes that differ by just exactly two."
"They can provide witness for your good character - or more specifically they provide a witness for if a number is prime or not. And there's nothing we enjoy more in mathematics than working out if a number is prime or not."
"But if a single witness says not prime, not prime. That's it, the number is kicked out of the court or whatever this the prime test place, they are turfed out they are not a prime number the moment of witness says no."
"The primes are the building blocks from which all other whole numbers are constructed."

"All sufficiently large even numbers are the sum of a prime and the product of at most two primes."
"Primes grow like weeds, seeming to obey no other law than that of chance. Nobody can predict where the next one will sprout."
"Primes are important and that's because this definition is actually precisely the right definition and it's incredibly useful for mathematicians."
"Primes are the fundamental building blocks of numbers comparable to atoms that are the building blocks of nature."

"For any prime, there will always be a bigger prime."
"Every prime squared is one bigger than a multiple of 24."
"All natural numbers are either prime numbers or they can be expressed as a product of prime numbers."

"The primes never run out; there are infinitely many of these indivisible numbers."
"The Riemann hypothesis, if it's true, there's this pattern in the primes... it will explain to us why there aren't any patterns in the primes."
"Nature gave us these numbers which didn't seem to have any pattern to them at all, just noisy numbers, but by changing our perspective, looking at things in a new way, we suddenly found where the real pattern is."
