He who is unfamiliar with mathematics [literally, he who is a layman in mathematics] remains more or less a stranger to our time.

Die Mathematik die Fackelträgerin einer neuen Zeit (1889)

It is number which regulates everything and it is measure which establishes universal order.... A quiet peace, an inviolable order, an inflexible security amidst all change and turmoil characterize the world which mathematics discloses and whose depths it unlocks.

Die Mathematik die Fackelträgerin einer neuen Zeit (1889)

Pure mathematics proves itself a royal science both through its content and form, which contains within itself the cause of its being and its methods of proof. For in complete independence mathematics creates for itself the object of which it treats, its magnitudes and laws, its formulas and symbols.
