Milne の online book Algebraic number theory
の後ろに Wyle のいい文章が載っている。

And after the first year [as an undergraduate at Gottingen] I went
home with Hilbert's Zahlbericht under my arm, and during the summer
vacation I worked my way through it—without any previous knowledge
of elementary number theory or Galois theory. These were the happiest
months of my life, whose shine, across years burdened with our common
share of doubt and failure, still comforts my soul.
Hermann Weyl, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 50 (1944), 612–654.
