Quotes

"The understanding of mathematics is necessary for a sound grasp of ethics." - Socrates
"Mathematicians do not study objects, but relations between objects. Thus, they are free to replace some objects by others so long as the relations remain unchanged. Content to them is irrelevant: they are interested in form only." - Henri Poincare
"I will not define time, space, place and motion, as being well known to all." - Sir Isaac Newton
"So far as the theories of mathematics are about reality, they are not certain; so far as they are certain, they are not about reality." - Albert Einstein
"The creator of the universe works in mysterious ways. But he uses a base ten counting system and likes round numbers." - Scott Adams
