The object of pure physics is the unfolding of the laws of the intelligible world; the object of pure mathematics that of unfolding the laws of human intelligence.

Mathematics is the music of reason.

May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician thinks music: music the dream, mathematics the working life.

Projective geometry is all geometry.

In things to be seen at once, much variety makes confusion, another vice of beauty. In things that are not seen at once, and have no respect one to another, great variety is commendable, provided this variety transgress not the rules of optics and geometry.

One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.

Now being in such grace and favor by reason I learned him some points of geometry and understanding of the art of mathematics with other things, I pleased him so that what I said he would not contrary.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Human knowledge is dark and uncertain; philosophy is dark, astrology is dark, and geometry is dark.

Poetry is as precise a thing as geometry.

There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry.

Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones - maybe only the stones - understood.

All one's inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry.

It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.

Not that the propositions of geometry are only approximately true, but that they remain absolutely true in regard to that Euclidean space which has been so long regarded as being the physical space of our experience.

The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.

A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit?

Geometry was the first exciting course I remember.

In terms of individuals who actually inspired me, very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.

I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect.

Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.

The ballet makes us look at those bodies, it makes us listen to that music, it makes us wonder at the geometry, of the way they come together. The way that extraordinary space is controlled and given such emotional force.

And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art.

It has adopted the geometry most advantageous to the species or, in other words, the most convenient.

I find purer philosophy in a Poem than in a Conclusion of Geometry, a chemical analysis, or a physical law.

Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.

Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.

I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.

The human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry.

I was very slow in maths, geometry I actually enjoyed.

There is no royal road to geometry.

While fractal geometry is often used in high-tech science, its patterns are surprisingly common in traditional African designs.

But if anyone supposes that there was no commercial fraud in the Middle Ages, let him study the commercial legislation of England for that period, and his mind will be satisfied, if he has a mind to be satisfied and not only a fancy to run away with him.

No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don't know what's going to happen until you do it.

A good novel is worth more then the best scientific study.

I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth.

On one hand, to be able to go from one direction in the sky to study such an object to another direction to study another object, and on the other hand to be able to maintain accurately the position in space.

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

I love talking about women because they are a constant study and you're always learning.

There are no enemies in science, professor. Only phenomena to study.

War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.

I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic.

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.
