“Perfect numbers like
perfect men are very rare."
René Descartes
"Pure mathematics, may it never be of any use to anyone."
Henry John Stephen Smith
"Sex is the mathematics urge sublimated."
M. C. Reed
"Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore."
Albert Einstein
"The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality."
David Hilbert
"The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophesies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell."
St. Augustine
"The imaginary number is a fine and wonderful recourse of the divine spirit, almost an amphibian between being and not being."
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
"The infinite! No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man."
David Hilbert
"The knowledge of which geometry aims is the knowledge of the eternal."
Plato
"The mathematician has reached the highest rung on the ladder of human thought."
Havelock Ellis
"The science of mathematics presents the most brilliant example of how pure reason may successfully enlarge its domain without the aid of experience."
Immanuel Kant
"The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with facts for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life."
Ernest Renan
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
Benjamin Disraeli
"There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world."
Nikolai Lobachevsky
"In real life there is no such thing as algebra."
