Hi i need help Which statement from The Number Devil best reveals that the author is using the number devil's character to promote a positive view of mathematics?

"Most genuine mathematicians are bad at sums. Besides, they have no time to waste on them. That's what pocket calculators are for."
"You need one thing and one thing only: one. With one—I am speaking of the numeral, of course—you can do almost anything."
"Just as there are infinitely large numbers, there are infinitely small numbers. And an infinite number of infinitely small numbers."
"I'm only doing it for you! You're the one who's afraid of numbers. You're the one who wants everything simple so you won't get mixed up."
