He is best known for his work on Kleene's theorem, which is a fundamental result in recursion theory. Following is our collection on famous quotes by Stephen Cole Kleene on life, love, climate change.

I think that after Church got his Ph.D. he studied in Europe, maybe in the Netherlands, for a year or two. — Stephen Cole Kleene

I went to Princeton in the fall of 1930 as a half-time instructor. — Stephen Cole Kleene

The job in Wisconsin was the first genuine offer of an academic job in a university which I received. — Stephen Cole Kleene

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy. — Stephen Cole Kleene

When I got to Princeton I made a point of attending the Philosophy Club and listening to the lectures, but I didn't get involved in any discussions in those clubs. I guess after the first year, I dropped that. — Stephen Cole Kleene

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine. — Stephen Cole Kleene

Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s. — Stephen Cole Kleene

I think Veblen had an interest in logic. — Stephen Cole Kleene

I had some hesitations about philosophy because, if you worked out a philosophical theory, it was hard to know whether you were going to be able to prove it or whether other theories had just as good a claim on belief. — Stephen Cole Kleene

I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe. — Stephen Cole Kleene

I don't think Post often came to Princeton during the '30s. I can't remember ever seeing him in Princeton. — Stephen Cole Kleene
