"An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God." (Srinivasa Ramanujan)

"As knowledge advances, science ceases to scoff at religion; and religion ceases to frown on science. The hour of mockery by the one, and of reproof by the other, is passing away. Henceforth, they will dwell together in unity and goodwill. They will mutually illustrate the wisdom, power, and grace of God. Science will adorn and enrich religion; and religion will ennoble and sanctify science." (Oliver W Holmes)

"God created everything by number, weight and measure." (Sir Isaac Newton)

"God is in the details, for mathematicians have plunged deeper and deeper within Pi’s digits with a religious fervor, hoping to find even a hint of understanding." (Ludwig Mies van der Rohe)

"God made the natural numbers. all else is the work of man." (Leopold Kronecker)

"God may not play dice with the universe, but something strange is going on with the prime numbers." (Paul Erdos)

"It is a right, yes a duty, to search in cautious manner for the numbers, sizes, and weights, the norms for everything [God] has created. For He himself has let man take part in the knowledge of these things […] For these secrets are not of the kind whose research should be forbidden; rather they are set before our eyes like a mirror so that by examining them we observe to some extent the goodness and wisdom of the Creator." (Johannes Kepler)

"Man’s first glance at the universe discovers only variety, diversity, multiplicity of phenomena. Let that glance be illuminated by science - by the science which brings man closer to God, - and simplicity and unity shine on all sides." (Louis Pasteur)

"Mathematics is the life supreme. The life of the gods is mathematics. All divine messengers are mathematicians. Pure mathematics is religion. Its attainment requires a theophany." (Friederich von Hardenberg [Novalis])

"Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and demons." (Pythagoras)

"That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God." (Albert Einstein)

"The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics." (Johannes Kepler)

"The God that reigns in Olympus is Number Eternal." (Carl Gustav Jacobi)

"The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God." (Euclid)

"The laws of thought, and especially of number, must hold good in heaven, whether it is a place or a state of mind; for they are independent of any particular sphere of existence, essential to Being itself, to God’s being as well as ours, laws of His mind before we learned them. The multiplication table will hold good in heaven […]" (Hilda P Hudson)

"The mathematical phenomenon always develops out of simple arithmetic, so useful in everyday life, out of numbers, those weapons of the gods; the gods are there, behind the wall, at play with numbers." (Le Corbusier)

"The mathematician is entirely free, within the limits of his imagination, to construct what worlds he pleases. What he is to imagine is a matter for his own caprice; he is not thereby discovering the fundamental principles of the universe nor becoming acquainted with the ideas of God." (John W N Sullivan)

"[…] there is a God precisely because Nature itself, even in chaos, cannot proceed except in an orderly and regular manner." (Immanuel Kant)

"What else can the human mind hold besides numbers and magnitudes? These alone we apprehend correctly, and if piety permits to say so, our comprehension is in this case of the same kind as God’s, at least insofar as we are able to understand it in this mortal life." (Johannes Kepler)

"What I’m really interested in is whether God could have made the world in a different way; that is, whether the necessity of logical simplicity leaves any freedom at all." (Albert Einstein)

"What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics." (Nikola Tesla)

"What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum mechanics you are forced to conclude that God exists." (Frank Tipler)
