Some quotes:
"Nobody can say what a variable is."
-Hermann Weyl, Mathematician
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, President
"Let us grant that the pursuit of mathematics is a divine madness of the human spirit, a refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings."
-Alfred North Whitehead, Mathematician
"A man should be learned in several sciences, and should have a reasonable, philosophical and in some measure a mathematical head, to be a complete and excellent poet."
-John Dryden, Poet
"I have discovered such wonderful things that I was amazed … out of nothing I have created a strange new universe."
-Janos Bolyai, Mathematician
"This trend [emphasizing applied mathematics over pure mathematics] will make the queen of the sciences into the quean of the sciences."
-L.M. Passano, Mathematician
