Collection of beauty in mathematics quotes

This post is a collection of beauty in mathematics quotes. There are 4 quotes listed below alphabetically by last name.

Aristotle (384-322 BC, philosopher):
"The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree." (Metaphysics)

Martin Gardner (1914-2010, mathematician):
"There is not much difference between the delight a novice experiences in cracking a clever brain teaser and the delight a mathematician experiences in mastering a more advanced problem. Both look on beauty bare - that clear, sharply defined, mysterious entrancing order that underlies all structure." (The Scientific American Book of Mathematical Puzzles & Diversions, 1959)

G. H. Hardy (1877-1947, mathematician):
"The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's must be beautiful; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics." (A Mathematician's Apology, 1941)

Sylvia Serfaty (1975 - now, mathematician):
"It's really beautiful to observe, as you progress in your mathematical maturity, how everything is somehow connected." (The Beauty of Mathematics: It Can Never Lie to You, 2017)

Walter Gropius and design


Photo license: CC BY-SA 4.0 DE

Walter Gropius (1883-1969) was a German-American architect best known for founding the Bauhaus in 1919. Wikipedia says,
"The influence of the Bauhaus on design education was significant. One of the main objectives of the Bauhaus was to unify art, craft and technology, and this approach was incorporated into the curriculum of the Bauhaus." (Wikipedia: Bauhaus, 9.23.22 UTC 02:51)
The rest of this post is some quotes from Gropius.

Design


"We want to create the purely organic building, bolding emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation." (AZQuotes.com)

"A modern building should derive its architectural significance solely from the vigour and consequence of its own organic proportions. It must be true to itself, logically transparent, and virginal of lies or trivialities." (AZQuotes.com)

"Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society." (AZQuotes.com)

Dmitri Breteton and information

This post is a collection of quotes from Dmitri Breteton in a blog post titled To Organize The World's Information in 2021. I recommend reading the blog post at this link. There are 4 quotes listed below chronologically.

1. "...there were the directories and portals like Jerry and David's guide to the web which later became Yahoo. These directories were lists of hierarchical categories. You could select a category like 'Science', then a subcategory like 'Physics' and get all the websites that talked about physics... This was much like a library."

2. "An encyclopedia is an attempt to summarize all knowledge. It is focused on giving factual explanations and descriptions of various things. It doesn't go too in depth, and it doesn't allow for opinion."

3. "We wanted to find all the blogs that talked about the American Revolution. Google told us they had 148,000,000 results, but only showed us 410. Half of those had nothing to do with the American Revolution, some were from the same website, and not all of them were even blogs. What is going on here?"

4. "When Google rose and all the web directories fell, we lost the metaphor of the library. We lost the ability to explore blogs on various subjects with no real goal."
