Mathematics and thought are ontologically the same thing. Have you understood? You are a thinking entity inhabiting a world created from thought. "God" doesn't make the world out of nothing. God makes the world out of thought, his own thought. God is himself thought, and you yourself are an eternal, necessary node of God. This reality is just "God", in all of his different monadic nodes, thinking about things and calculating the best answer to everything.

Mathematics occupies exactly the same logical space as God. No proof of God has ever relied on observation or experiment. The existence of God, in philosophy, is defended via rational and logical arguments. All of these same arguments can be applied to mathematics. Mathematics and God go together with consummate ease. God is mathematics.

Atheism is the opium of the mathematicians. Atheism is the religion of Mathematics.

When we find that God's ways always coincide with our own ways, it's time to question who we're really worshipping, God or ourselves. The latter moves the nature of Godliness from the King to our servant to a slave, a deduction into the realm of selfhood and then the lower, slavehood. It's a spiritual mathematics in that men who need God in his Godhood are humble yet strong and spiritually ambitious while men who need a slave in their selfhood are ultimately paralyzed and will remain paralyzed.

"In mathematics or physics, infinity is greater than one or two or any number countable. In how many ways can the world be destroyed based on ordered knowledge? You may be able to count this. But the truth is, you "really" don't know. These possibilities in your mind hold a set of unpredictable orders. One effect may be causative of another of another. It could be a culmination of effects you know as events where events are sets and subsets of potential possibilities.

I started studying law, but this I could stand just for one semester. I couldn't stand more. Then I studied languages and literature for two years. After two years I passed an examination with the result I have a teaching certificate for Latin and Hungarian for the lower classes of the gymnasium, for kids from 10 to 14. I never made use of this teaching certificate. And then I came to philosophy, physics, and mathematics. In fact, I came to mathematics indirectly. I was really more interested in physics and philosophy and thought about those. It is a little shortened but not quite wrong to say: I thought I am not good enough for physics and I am too good for philosophy. Mathematics is in between.

You know, people think mathematics is complicated. Mathematics is the simple bit. It's the stuff we can understand. It's cats that are complicated. I mean, what is it in those little molecules and stuff that make one cat behave differently than another, or that make a cat? And how do you define a cat? I have no idea.

Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.

No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.

Our craving for generality has [as one] source ? our preoccupation with the method of science. I mean the method of reducing the explanation of natural phenomena to the smallest possible number of primitive natural laws; and, in mathematics, of unifying the treatment of different topics by using a generalization. Philosophers constantly see the method of science before their eyes, and are irresistibly tempted to ask and answer in the way science does. This tendency is the real source of metaphysics, and leads the philosopher into complete darkness. I want to say here that it can never be our job to reduce anything to anything, or to explain anything. Philosophy really is "purely descriptive.

The person who wishes to attain human perfection should study logic first, next mathematics, then physics, and, lastly, metaphysics.

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

Don't try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you're good, bad things can still happen. And if you're bad, you can still be lucky.

I stayed away from mathematics not so much because I knew it would be hard work as because of the amount of time I knew it would take hours spent in a field where I was not a natural.

I read everything: fiction history science mathematics biography travel.

I hated science in high school. Technology? Engineering? Math? Why would I ever need this? Little did I realize that music was also about science technology engineering and mathematics all rolled into one.

We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy but by direct intercourse and sympathy.

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.

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science but I wasn't sure of it.

We must always emphasize research and development of science and mathematics and I can think of no better way to achieve this than through our future in space.

In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.
