Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry. - Stephen Hawking
We often hear that mathematics consists mainly of 'proving theorems.' Is a writer's job mainly that of 'writing sentences? - Gian-Carlo Rota

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
Any impatient student of mathematics or science or engineering who is irked by having algebraic symbolism thrust upon him should try to get along without it for a week.
Mathematics is a vast adventure in ideas; its history reflects some of the noblest thoughts of countless generations.
May not Music be described as the Mathematics of sense, and Mathematics as the Music of reason?
Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe. - Galileo Galilei
It has become almost a cliché to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics. - Richard Dawkins
Mathematics is life: the workings (process) is more important than the answer (proof/product). A wrong process cannot make a right product. - Dele Ayo Bankole
Without mathematics, your world becomes foggy! For a clear vision, you need to be educated in the Temple of Mathematics! - Mehmet Murat ildan

You can not apply mathematics as long as words still becloud reality.
In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them. - Johann von Neumann
It is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of security which, without mathematics, they could not attain. - Albert Einstein

(1) Use mathematics as shorthand language, rather than as an engine of inquiry. (2) Keep to them till you have done. (3) Translate into English.
