It Is A Misfortune For A Science

Mathematicians Do Not Study Objects, But Relations Among Objects; They Are Indifferent To The Replacement Of Objects By Others As Long The Relations Don't Change. Matter Is Not Important, Only Form Interests Them.

The Scientist Does Not Study Nature Because It Is Useful; He Studies It Because He Delights In It, And He Delights In It Because It Is Beautiful.

This Harmony That Human Intelligence Believes It Discovers In Nature - Does It Exist Apart From That Intelligence? No, Without Doubt, A Reality Completely Independent Of The Spirit Which Conceives It, Sees It Or Feels It, Is An Impossibility. A World So Exterior As That, Even If It Existed, Would Be Forever Inaccessible To Us. But What We Call Objective Reality Is, In The Last Analysis, That Which Is Common To Several Thinking Beings, And Could Be Common To All; This Common Part, We Will See, Can Be Nothing But The Harmony Expressed By Mathematical Laws.

How Is It That There Are So Many Minds That Are Incapable Of Understanding Mathematics? ... The Skeleton Of Our Understanding, ... And Actually They Are The Majority. ... We Have Here A Problem That Is Not Easy Of Solution, But Yet Must Engage The Attention Of All Who Wish To Devote Themselves To Education.

Einstein Does Not Remain Attached To The Classical Principles, And When Presented With A Problem In Physics He Quickly Envisages All Of Its Possibilities. This Leads Immediately In His Mind To The Prediction Of New Phenomena Which May One Day Be Verified By Experiment.
