… it is certain that the real function of art is to increase our self-consciousness; to make us more aware of what we are, and therefore of what the universe in which we live really is. And since mathematics, in its own way, also performs this function, it is not only aesthetically charming but profoundly significant. It is an art, and a great art.

[G]eometry is not true, it is advantageous.
~~~~~~~
A straight line is the shortest in morals as in mathematics.
~~~~~~~
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.

Although he may not always recognize his bondage, modern man lives under a tyranny of numbers.
~~~~~~~
Although I am almost illiterate mathematically, I grasped very early in life that any one who can count to ten can count upward indefinitely if he is fool enough to do so.

Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head.
~~~~~~~
Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky–or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.

As an exercise of the reasoning faculties, pure mathematics is an admirable exercise, because it consists of reasoning alone and does not encumber the student with any exercise of judgment.
~~~~~~~
As for as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as for as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
~~~~~~~
As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.

Between the penis and the mathematical one . . . there exists nothing. Nothing! It is a vacuum. [Fr., Entre le penis et les mathematiques . . . il n’existe rien. Rien! C’est le vide.]

Every minute dies a man, Every minute one is born; I need hardly point out to you that this calculation would tend to keep the sum total of the world’s population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is a well-known fact that the said sum total is constantly on the increase. I would therefore take the liberty of suggesting that in the next edition of your excellent poem the erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: Every moment dies a man, And one and a sixteenth is born. I may add that the exact figures are 1.067, but something must, of course, be conceded to the laws of metre.

Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
~~~~~~~
God is real, unless declared integer.
~~~~~~~
He that gives a portion of his time and talent to the investigation of mathematical truth will come to all other questions with a decided advantage.
~~~~~~~
How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?
~~~~~~~
How happy the lot of the mathematician! He is judged solely by his peers, and the standard is so high that no colleague or rival can ever win a reputation he does not deserve. No cashier writes a letter to the press complaining about the incomprehensibility of Modern Mathematics and comparing it unfavorably with the good old days when mathematicians were content to paper irregularly shaped rooms and fill bathtubs without closing the waste pipe.
