Ted Chiang
“Her concentration was gone, and last night she had had a nightmare about discovering a formalism that let her translate arbitrary concepts into mathematical expressions: then she had proven that life and death were equivalent.”
Ted Chiang, Stories of Your Life and Others

Alexis Karpouzos
“When you look deeply into yourself you may be able to see that there is, in this moment, a quality of aliveness that is animating you that is not philosophical and is not abstract. It's independent of what you think about it, what you believe about it and what you feel about it. It's always there! it is animating your breath, It is coursing the spirit, it is what makes it possible for you to think and speak and see and hear.

This is the Invisible Touch.”
Alexis Karpouzos, The self-criticism of science

Anna Shelley
“Playing in the field of mathematics is like playing in the aether, and sometimes you get taken through all manner of twists and turns, you may as well be walking in parallel to the rest of the world, or in another dimension in space.”
Anna Shelley, My Life as a Magician

“As Whitehead has observed, “No Roman lost his life because he was absorbed in the contemplation of a mathematical diagram.”
Eric Temple Bell, Men of Mathematics

Bernardine Evaristo
“Let us wonder, Carole, at the genius of hyperbolic geometry, where the sum of the angles adds up to tales than 180 degrees
Let us wonder at how the ancient Egyptians worked out how to measure an irregularly-shaped field
Let us wonder how X was just a rare letter until algebra came along and made it something special that can be unraveled to reveal its inner value
You see, maths is a process of discovery, Carole, it is like the exploration of space, the planets were always there, it just took us a long time to find them”
Bernardine Evaristo, Girl, Woman, Other

Stephen Jay Gould
“Misunderstanding of probability may be the greatest of all general impediments to scientific literacy.”
Stephen Jay Gould, Dinosaur in a Haystack

“Success is the circle, hard work is the perimeter of it. the diameter of success is the addition of
radius and radius of success is the failures of it”
Aabas Sadkani, An Ongoing Original

“She is the one in my heart and I'm zero without her when the world tries to divide her from me that's where our love becomes infinite.”
Nanruth Nanda

“What exists mathematically has the potentiality of existence.”
Radoslav Rochallyi, ESSE: Theorems on Morality and Power

Ross King
“Mathematics is not merely a tool for commercial transactions but rather a visible expression of the world's beauty and truth”
Ross King, Leonardo and the Last Supper

“Commenting on the return of Descartes’ remains to his native France, Jacobi remarks that “It is often more convenient to possess the ashes of great men than to possess the men themselves during their lifetime.”
Eric Temple Bell, Men of Mathematics

“EULER CALCULATED WITHOUT APPARENT EFFORT, as men breathe, or as eagles sustain themselves in the wind” (as Arago said), is not an exaggeration of the unequalled mathematical facility of Leonard Euler (1707-1783)”
Eric Temple Bell, Men of Mathematics

“The mathematical exposition is extremely concise and occasionally awkward. Laplace was interested in results, not in how he got them. To avoid condensing a complicated mathematical argument to a brief, intelligible form he frequently omits everything but the conclusion, with the optimistic remark “Il est aisé à voir” (It is easy to see). He himself would often be unable to restore the reasoning by which he had “seen” these easy things without hours—sometimes days—of hard labor.”
Eric Temple Bell, Men of Mathematics

“He (Gauss) lives everywhere in mathematics”
Eric Temple Bell, Men of Mathematics

“In 1835 the Academy of Sciences began publishing its weekly bulletin (the Comptes rendus). Here was a virgin dumping ground for Cauchy, and he began swamping the new publication with notes and lengthy memoirs- sometimes more than one a week. Dismayed at the rapidly mounting bill for printing, the Academy passed a rule, in force today, prohibiting the publication of an article over four pages long. This cramped Cauchy’s luxuriant style, and his longer memoirs, including a great one of 300 pages on the theory of numbers, were published elsewhere.”
Eric Temple Bell, Men of Mathematics

“In all that galaxy of talent there was no brighter star than Niels Henrik Abel, the man of whom Hermite said, “He has left mathematicians something to keep them busy for five hundred years.”
Eric Temple Bell

“If you can escape math and numbers or be behind it - you become godlike. In case you are human, everything you do or is done to you can be put into a number.”
Thomas Vato

“Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can't see”
-Me

Jacob  Sebastian
“The natural flow of Water is always from top to bottom. It is the unbreakable law of Physics. To get water to the top, you need to use a water pump.
But the natural flow of Wealth is always from bottom to top. It is the unbreakable law of Mathematics. To get wealth to the bottom, governments need to use a wealth pump.”

Garry Fitchett
“I feel it's such a shame that so many live their lives driven by math such as financial retirement goals. Math is a poor roommate to 'spirit & soul'.”
Garry Fitchett

“God made the empty set, man made the rest.”
Duncan Muirhead

“That, what we cannot describe mathematically cannot have a recognizable existence.”
