The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.

Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once

Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated.

The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.
