Math Quotes
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. John Adams If it's incomprehensible, it's mathematics. Bennett Cern I protest against the use of infinite magnitude ..., which is never permissible in mathematics. Carl Friedrich Gauss And for mathematical science, he that doubts their certainty hath need of a dose of hellebore. Joseph Glanvill an excessive study of mathematics absolutely incapacitates the mind... Sir William Hamilton Round numbers are always false. Samuel Johnson If I had inherited a fortune I should probably not have cast my lot with mathematics. Joseph-Louis Lagrange If only gravity were working, the path would be symmetrical, it is the wind resistance that produces the tragic curve. Norman Mailer In my free time I do differential and integral calculus. Karl Marx How is error possible in mathematics? Henri Poincare But if two and two and fifty make a million,... Pete Seeger Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself. Walt Whitman

More will appear as they present themselves, and feel free to send them in
    "Standard deviation? I don't do that stuff. I'm actually a group theorist."Prof. D. Wise, in lecture (Math 221, Spring 1998)
    "You pronounce 'monodromy' so it doesn't rhyme with 'monotony.'"Prof. Graeme Bailey, in lecture (Math 401, spring 2000)
    "It says something about math that 'monotonous' is a technical term."Alex Kay (a nonmathematician friend)
    "Obviously this is weak chalk...or else I'm a very strong mathematician."Prof. Allen Hatcher, in lecture (Math 453, fall 2000)

    "Mathematicians tend to despise Dirac notation, because it can prevent them from making important distinctions, but physicists love it, because they are always forgetting such distinctions exist and the notation liberates them from having to remember."Prof. N. David Mermin, a footnote to his "Lecture Notes on Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Theory"

    QUOTES PERTAINING TO MATHEMATICS
    Thomas Aquinas : Since Mathematics is intermediate between natural and divine science, it is more certain than either of them; ...
    Bertrand Russell : Mathematics is, I believe, the chief source of the belief in eternal and exact truth, as well as in a intelligible super-sensible world.
    Augustine : Seven and three are ten, not only now but always; nor was there ever a time when seven and three were not ten, nor will there ever be a time seven and three will not be ten. I say, therefore, that this incorruptible truth of number is common to me and to any reasoning person whatsoever.
    John Adams : I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.
    Galileo : Nature's great book is written in mathematics.
    George Washington : The science of figures, to ascertain degree, is not only indispensably requisite in every walk of civilized life; but the investigation of mathematical truths accustoms the mind to method and correctness in reasoning, and is an employment peculiarly worthy of rational beings. In a clouded state of existence, where some many things appear precarious to the bewildered research, it is here that the rational faculties find a firm foundation to rest upon. From the high ground of mathematical and philosophical demonstration, we are insensibly led to far more nobler speculations and sublimer meditations.

    http://facultystaff.vwc.edu/~trfanney/morequotes.htm
    Thich Nhat Hanh Coming Home: Jesus and the Buddha as Brothers , Riverhead Books, New York (1999)): Scientists like to speak in the language of mathematics. There are many good mathematicians among us. Those of us who look at reality and speak about reality in the language of mathematics find that there is no other language that can speak as well as mathematics does about reality. When a mathematician admires reality in terms of mathematics, he has the tendency to believe God is the best mathematician. Otherwise how could things be arranged in such a way? If God is not a mathematician, how could he create things perfectly in this way?
    To know and to understand are two different things. When you climb a ladder, unless you abandon the lower step, you will not be able to climb to a higher one. Knowledge is like that. If you are not ready to let go of your knowledge, you cannot get a deeper knowledge of the same thing. The history of science proves this. You discover a new thing that helps you to understand better. Yet you are aware that some day you'll have to let go of that thing in order to discover something deeper and higher.
    Understanding is a process. It is a living thing.

    http://www.people.virginia.edu/~cmd6a/math/math_quotes.htm
    Quotes from the Mathematical Quotations Server, Collected by Mark R. Woodard, Furman University Abel, Niels H. (1802 - 1829)
    If you disregard the very simplest cases, there is in all of mathematics not a single infinite series whose sum has been rigorously determined. In other words,the most important parts of mathematics stand without a foundation.
    In G. F. Simmons, Calculus Gems, New York: Mcgraw Hill, Inc., 1992, p. 188. Abel, Niels H. (1802 - 1829)
    [A reply to a question about how he got his expertise:]
    By studying the masters and not their pupils. Abel, Niels H. (1802 - 1829)
    [About Gauss' mathematical writing style]
    He is like the fox, who effaces his tracks in the sand with his tail.
    In G. F. Simmons, Calculus Gems, New York: Mcgraw Hill, Inc., 1992, p. 177. Adams, Douglas (1952 - )
    Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space, and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants.
