• En las cosas que se ven a la vez, mucha variedad produce confusión, otro vicio de la belleza. En las cosas que no se ven a la vez, y que no se respetan unas a otras, es loable una gran variedad, siempre que esta variedad no transgreda las reglas de la óptica y la geometría.

  Christopher Wren

  Respect, Confusion, Confusing

• There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, arabesques of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web. They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles. Yet to follow the delicate tensors as they contracted, as the superscripts paired with subscripts, collapsing mathematically into concrete classical entities - potential; mass; forces vectoring in a curved geometry - that was a sublime experience. The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.

  Gregory Benford

• 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.

• We come now to the question: what is a priori certain or necessary, respectively in geometry (doctrine of space) or its foundations? Formerly we thought everything; nowadays we think nothing. Already the distance-concept is logically arbitrary; there need be no things that correspond to it, even approximately.

  Albert Einstein

• 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.

• Las pirámides, las catedrales y los cohetes existen no por la geometría, las teorías de las estructuras o la termodinámica, sino porque primero fueron una imagen -literalmente una visión- en la mente de quienes los construyeron. La sociedad está donde está hoy porque la gente tuvo la percepción, las imágenes y la imaginación, la creatividad que proporcionan las Artes, para hacer del mundo el lugar en el que vivimos hoy.

• There are two versions of math in the lives of many Americans: the strange and boring subject that they encountered in classrooms and an interesting set of ideas that is the math of the world, and is curiously different and surprisingly engaging. Our task is to introduce this second version to today's students, get them excited about math, and prepare them for the future.

• The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematizing the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms.
