Ramanujan: Twelve Lectures on Subjects Suggested by his Life and Work - G. H. Hardy

This quote was added by aayushpy
I remember once going to see him when he was lying ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."
