Mathematical Quotes (page 6)

Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. This single fact took the scientific world by storm. Douglas Adams
G. H. Hardy quote: "Real mathematics must be justified as art if it can be..."
Real mathematics must be justified as art if it can be justified at all. G. H. Hardy
Louisa May Alcott quote: "politics were as bad as mathematics, and that the mission of..."
politics were as bad as mathematics, and that the mission of politicians seemed to be calling each other names Louisa May Alcott
I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. John Quincy Adams
Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best, he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear his shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house. Robert A. Heinlein
Life is not so idiotically mathematical that only the big eat the small; it is just as common for a bee to kill a lion or at least to drive it mad. August Strindberg
But Anatole said suddenly, 'Don't expect God's protection in places beyond God's dominion. It will only make you feel punished. I'm warning you. When things go bad, you will blame yourself.' 'What are you telling me?' 'I am telling you what I'm telling you. Don't try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you are good, bad things can still happen. And if you are bad, you can still be lucky. Barbara Kingsolver
I merely say that all reading for pleasure is escape, whether it be Greek, mathematics, astronomy, Benedetto Croce, or The Diary of the Forgotten Man. To say otherwise is to be an intellectual snob, and a juvenile at the art of living. Raymond Chandler
The calculative exactness of practical life which the money economy has brought about corresponds to the ideal of natural science: to transform the world by mathematical formulas. Only money economy has filled the days of so many people with weighing, calculating, with numerical determinations, with a reduction of qualitative values to quantitative ones. Georg Simmel
Immanuel Kant quote: "In every department of physical science there is only so much..."
In every department of physical science there is only so much science, properly so-called, as there is mathematics. Immanuel Kant
Maria Mitchell quote: "We especially need imagination in science. It is not all..."
We especially need imagination in science. It is not all logic, nor all mathematics, but is somewhat beauty and poetry. Maria Mitchell
Once you have mathematical certainty there is nothing left to do or to understand. There will be nothing left but to bottle up your five senses and plunge into contemplation. While if you stick to consciousness, even though the same result is attained, you can at least flog yourself at times, and that will, at any rate, liven you up. Reactionary as it is, corporal punishment is better than nothing. Fyodor Dostoevsky
A man may possess a profound knowledge of history and mathematics; he may be an authority in psychology, biology, or astronomy; he may know all the discovered truths pertaining to geology and natural science; but if he has not with this knowledge that nobility of soul which prompts him to deal justly with his fellow men, to practice virtue and holiness in his personal life, he is not truly an educated man. Character is the aim of true education; and science, history, and literature are but... David O. McKay
Only someone who doesn’t understand art tells an artist their art somehow failed. How the fuck can art fail? Art can’t be graded, because it’s going to mean something different to everyone. You can’t apply a mathematical absolute to art because there is no one formula for self-expression. Kevin Smith
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the..."
...while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. Arthur Conan Doyle
