#10370Mathematicians often resort to something called Hilbert space, which is
described as being n-dimensional. Like modern sex, any number can play.
-- Dr. Thor Wald, "Beep/The Quincunx of Time", by James Blish
#10371Mathematicians practice absolute freedom.
-- Henry Adams
#10372Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts
to each other without consideration of their relation to experience.
-- Albert Einstein
#10373Mathematics is the only science where one never knows what
one is talking about nor whether what is said is true.
-- Russell
#10374Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth but supreme beauty --
a beauty cold and austere, like that of a sculpture, without appeal to any
part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trapping of painting or music,
yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the
greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense
of being more than man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is
to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.
-- Bertrand Russell
#10375Matter cannot be created or destroyed, nor can it be returned without a receipt.
#10376Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value.
#10377Measure twice, cut once.
#10378Measure with a micrometer. Mark with chalk. Cut with an axe.
#10379Mediocrity finds safety in standardization.
-- Frederick Crane
