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.
