What is von neumann?

Famous quotes containing the words von and/or neumann:

“No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge.

Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?”
