Quotes
The
Axiom of Choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's lemma?[4]
This is a joke: although the three are all mathematically equivalent, many mathematicians find the axiom of choice to be intuitive, the well-ordering principle to be counterintuitive, and Zorn's lemma to be too complex for any intuition.
