“Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty”

“Mathematics takes us still further from what is human, into the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the world, but every possible world, must conform.”

Betrand Russell

“Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.”

“Eine jede Wissenschaft fällt, hat sie erst eine gewisse Reife erreicht, automatisch der Mathematik anheim.”

Translation: Every kind of science, if it has only reached a certain degree of maturity, automatically becomes a part of mathematics.

David Hilbert

“In der Mathematik gibt es kein Ignorabimus.”

“In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in the case of poetry, it’s the exact opposite! ”

“Pick a flower on earth and you move the farthest star.”

Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac
