1. Math is a four-letter word. The most anxiety-producing four-letter word in our language.
2. Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. -Albert Einstein
3. The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure,
passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal. -William James
4. Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics. -Dean Schlicter
5. Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere
and the circumference nowhere. -Blaise Pascal
6. The significance of mathematics resides precisely in the fact that it is an art;
by informing us of the nature of our own minds it informs us of much
that depends on our minds. -John William Navin Sullivan
7. Mathematical knowledge adds vigour to the mind, frees it from prejudice,
credulity, and superstition. -John Arbuthnot
8. A world without math or a world without numbers would result in paychecks
containing only the words: Thanks for working, sucker.
