When I went into the seminary, I was one of those victims of New Math and had not had Algebra I and had no idea what we were doing in New Math in the ninth grade. But when I went into the seminary, they had gone the traditional route and taught first-year algebra. ↗

Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express. ↗

I tried reading Hilbert. Only his papers published in mathematical periodicals were available at the time. Anybody who has tried those knows they are very hard reading. ↗

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision. ↗

How many of you have broken no laws this month? That's the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee - with physics and mathematics, not with laws - that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications. ↗

A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas. ↗

Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics. ↗

I'm no mathematician, so I'm stuck with the graphic representations. ↗

But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius. ↗
