[FOM] alleged quote from Hilbert

[Martin Davis]

In Rebecca Goldstein's recent "Incompleteness" she quotes Hilbert as follows:

	Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with 
meaningless marks 	on paper.

I would appreciate any information about this quotation about which I'm 
dubious. Goldstein's source is: John de Pillis & Nick Rose, "Mathematical 
Maxims and Minims" (Raleigh, NC 1988).
I've been unable to locate this book: it's listed neither in the unified U 
of Calif library catalog, nor in NYPL, nor (the ultimate authority) on Amazon.

Thanks to all,
Martin
