“Politics is an extension of war by other means. Arguments are soldiers. Once you know which side you're on, you must support all arguments of that side, and attack all arguments that appear to favor the enemy side; otherwise it's like stabbing your soldiers in the back - providing aid and comfort to the enemy. Politics is the Mind-Killer.”
― Eliezer Yudkowsky, The Less Wrong Sequences

“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

“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

“The various approximations that constitute our current physics theories are successful because simple mathematical structures can provide good approximations of how a self-aware substructure will perceive more complex mathematical structures. In other words, our successful theories are not mathematics approximating physics, but mathematics approximating mathematics!”
― Max Tegmark
