It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.
I think part of the appeal of mathematical logic is that the formulas look mysterious - you write backward Es!
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form
We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about 'and'.
Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all.
Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
The world is more than the sum of its suffering.
A fist is more than the sum of its fingers.
Logic is the hygiene the mathematician practices to keep his ideas healthy and strong.
We never know what we are talking about.
Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s.
To understand this for sense it is not required that a man should be a geometrician or a logician, but that he should be mad.
A painting is more than the sum of its parts
The fact that all Mathematics is Symbolic Logic is one of the greatest discoveries of our age; and when this fact has been established, the remainder of the principles of mathematics consists of the analysis of Symbolic Logic itself.
Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say.
All exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation.
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
I am allowed to use plain English because everybody knows that I could use mathematical logic if I chose.
Ordinary language is totally unsuited for expressing what physics really asserts, since the words of everyday life are not sufficiently abstract. Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say.
There are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who cannot.
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days; rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
