“One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own, that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoverers.”
Heinrich Hertz

Tim Minchin
“The more you know, the harder you will find it to make up your mind, it doesn't really matter if you find it. You can't see which grass is greener, chances are it's neither and either way it's easier to see the difference when you're sitting on the fence.”
Tim Minchin

Edward Frenkel
“The interaction between math and physics is a two-way process, with each of the two subjects drawing from and inspiring the other. At different times, one of them may take the lead in developing a particular idea, only to yield to the other subject as focus shifts. But altogether, the two interact in a virtuous circle of mutual influence.”
Edward Frenkel, Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality

Albert Einstein
“How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?”
Albert Einstein

“It was not just joy. There was something more, something deeper: After all, what could be more mysterious, what could be more awe-inspiring, than to find that the structure of the physical world is intimately tied to the deep mathematical concepts, concepts which were developed out of considerations rooted only in logic and the beauty of form?”
Chen-Ning Yang
