Cartesian Quotes : pic 001077754
Where there is matter, there is geometry.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001398926
How much
have we not seen or felt or heard
because there was no word
for it -- at least no word we knew?
We speak to navigate ourselves
away from dark corners and we become,
each one of us, cartographers.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001013623
It looks like a parallelogram fucking an isosceles triangle, I said.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001660522
Modern man lives more and more in a preponderantly geometric order. All human creation mechanical or industrial is dependent upon geometric intentions.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000724667
About the fearful sphere which we inhabit, whose centre may be calculated and whose circumference is physically established, there spin metaphors whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference shows itself only through holes in the dark.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000875975
In geometry Anne met her Waterloo. "It's perfectly awful stuff, Marilla," she groaned. "I'm sure I'll never be able to make heads or tail of it. There is not scope for imagination in it at all.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001238850
Geometry is the rules of all mental investigation
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000826803
God ever geometrizes.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001455718
I'm an artist; I'm not going to use trigonometry.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000893640
The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001733150
It never ceases to amaze me how adaptable social geometry can be. Within a couple of days I went from being the centre of the circle to an indefinite point outside its circumference.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000488443
We affirm depth as the only pictorial and plastic form of space.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001077783
Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001741985
A map does not just chart, it unlocks and formulates meaning; it forms bridges between here and there, between disparate ideas that we did not know were previously connected.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000123496
In geometry, as in nature, the circle is the archetypal shape of wholeness and inclusion. It is an effective shape for nonprofits or community-focused efforts.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001872176
If a man is at once acquainted with the geometric foundation of things and with their festal splendor, his poetry is exact and his arithmetic musical.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000299738
Remote from human passions, remote even from the pitiful facts of nature, the generations have gradually created an ordered cosmos [mathematics], where pure thought can dwell in its natural home ...
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001586172
Geometry is the art of correct reasoning from incorrectly drawn figures.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000573606
I happen to be a 64-year-old woman who lives in Manhattan, so on and so forth, but am I the sum total of my sort of bodily coordinates? Well, of course not.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000577392
The world is a sphere, there is no East or West.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001705022
Here, where we reach the sphere of mathematics, we are among processes which seem to some the most inhuman of all human activities and the most remote from poetry. Yet it is here that the artist has the fullest scope of his imagination.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001039860
The western mind is linear, the eastern mind is circular.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000106757
For God is like a skilfull Geometrician.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001017658
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001336957
Programming graphics in X is like finding the square root of PI using Roman numerals.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000898937
Sire, there is no royal road to geometry.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001013639
triangle of my mons,
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001684526
A circle only knows its own shape. If you ask where it begins and where it ends, it will stay silent, yet unbroken.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000507721
One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001270769
The world is made of Circles
And we think in straight Lines
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000636398
Visual forms are not perceived differently from colors or brightness. They are sense qualities, and the visual character of geometry consists in these sense qualities.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001741645
Cartography and geographic thinking are cool.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001176187
Maps are a way of organizing wonder.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001870250
Geometry draws the soul towards truth.

Time,- that black and narrow isthmus between two eternities.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001469322
on a map: There it
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000732692
Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000812265
The earth's round, like an orange, but this map is like its skin, cut off in ovals, north to south, laid flat and stretched a bit at the top and bottom. A Dutchman called Mercator invented the way to do this accurately twenty years ago. It's the first accurate world map.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000289680
A map is a song. It's different when different people sing it ... You will make this your own song, sing it your own way.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000292648
Geography is the art of the mappable.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001297333
Mapmaker mapmaker
make me a map
one to one scale,
without a single gap.
Map every rock,
every thought, every tree
and erase all the territory.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001496096
The four cardinal points are three: South and North.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000270303
We are in the interstices. In the intervals. We are that which moves between the spaces. Which conjures up the spaces.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001374836
THE BODY SHOULD be triangular, the mind circular. The triangle represents the generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolizes serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for solidity, the basis of applied control.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001091756
God Father (the Creator) geometrizes, God Mother (Nature) fractalizes.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001527941
If geography is prose, maps are iconography.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001620228
Let no one destitute of Geometry enter my doors.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000933316
Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000629965
Ten geographers who think the world is flat will tend to reinforce each other's errors ... Only a sailor can set them straight.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001320338
This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one center.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001548160
As you can see, visually, with your eyes.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001541962
We endeavour to employ only symmetrical figures, such as should not only be an aid to reasoning, through the sense of sight, but should also be to some extent elegant in themselves.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000024652
God is a geometrician.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001621509
...words so precisely placed that in combination with other words, also precisely placed, they carve out a shape in space and time.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000398302
A tree nowhere offers a straight line or a regular curve, but who doubts that root, trunk, boughs, and leaves embody geometry?
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001172532
Frontiers are physical as well as symbolic constructions
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000253128
Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000616967
Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000296737
Reason like a sphere? What type of reasoning does a wooden sphere do?"
"The circular type, I should think. And, by coincidence, it is my favorite type as well. Perhaps that's why I'm so good at the game.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001515066
Geometry enlightlens the intellect and sets one's mind right
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000305248
Geometry is knowledge of the eternally existent.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001262826
The landlady of a boarding-house is a parallelogram - that is, an oblong angular figure, which cannot be described, but which is equal to anything.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001101425
It is through geometry that one purifies the eye of the soul.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000294908
I think I'm on an angle. I'm on an oblique angle through all of existence.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001488467
If I were asked to name, in one word, the pole star round which the mathematical firmament revolves, the central idea which pervades the whole corpus of mathematical doctrine, I should point to Continuity as contained in our notions of space, and say, it is this, it is this!
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001126984
Space creates shape; Shape creates space.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001497044
Algebra applies to the clouds.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000236796
I propose to construct a new chart for navigating, on which I shall delineate all the sea and lands of the Ocean in their proper positions under their bearings; and further, I propose to prepare a book, and to put down all as it were in a picture, by latitude from the equator, and western longitude.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001431240
Modern mathematics, that most astounding of intellectual creations, has projected the mind's eye through infinite time and the mind's hand into boundless space.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000624151
Our universe - it's three-dimensional, but we can pretend it's two-dimensional so it's like this sheet of paper - and we live in Pasadena over here and London is over there, and it's thousands of miles from Pasadena to London.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000936387
You can't criticize geometry. It's never wrong.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001248629
Today, the latitude and longitude lines govern with more authority than I could have imagined forty-odd years ago, for they stay fixed as the world changes its configuration underneath them - with continents adrift across a widening sea, and national boundaries repeatedly redrawn by war or peace.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000836319
The geometry of the place was all wrong. One could not be sure that the sea and the ground were horizontal,
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001470796
Geometry is a Deductive Science.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001467806
Really, universally, relations stop nowhere, and the exquisite problem of the artist is eternally but to draw, by a geometry of his own, the circle within which they shall happily appear to do so.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000436221
In reality the universe has no geometry.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000478354
Near that a dusty paint-box, some odd hooks, A half-burnt match, an ivory block, three books, Where conic sections, spherics, logarithms, To great Laplace, from Saunderson and Sims, Lie heaped in their harmonious disarray Of figures,-disentangle them who may.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001057519
Geometry is the science of correct reasoning on incorrect figures.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001187043
And therefore in geometry (which is the only science that it hath pleased God hitherto to bestow on mankind), men begin at settling the significations of their words; which settling of significations, they call definitions, and place them in the beginning of their reckoning.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001381782
I circumnavigate the globe with a one-liner like latitude.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001191544
It is not only impolitic and injudicious to even attempt to think ouside a box with a linearly skewed, acutely constrained and partial view. I would rather choose to think iside an infinitesimal pinfold but in 3D.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001799055
Trying to map the brain has often been called cartography for fools.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001101803
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001327932
Every writer must reconcile, as best he may, the conflicting claims of consistency and variety, of rigour in detail and elegance in the whole. The present author humbly confesses that, to him, geometry is nothing at all, if not a branch of art.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001272193
I'm no mathematician, so I'm stuck with the graphic representations.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001673284
When you're a cartographer, having to make maps sort of comes with the territory.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001038772
Geometric calculus consists in a system of operations analogous to those of algebraic calculus, but in which the entities on which the calculations are carried out, instead of being numbers, are geometric entities which we shall define.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001449577
In Egypt, like everywhere, the land is made to fit the sky; but here it is more so. Here it is possible to say, "This is land," and point, and "This is sky," and point, but the eyes can't discover the dividing line.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001077774
Geometry is one and eternal shining in the mind of God
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001464514
Lip. I have a sudden vivid picture of the earth as flat, a tray, covered in marbles, and someone is tilting it, and the marbles are rolling, cascading, from east to west.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000635013
Where in this small-talking world can I find A longitude with no platitude?
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000303799
A map says to you.
Read me carefully, follow me closely, doubt me not ...
I am the earth in the palm of your hand.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001664302
There is a single general space, a single vast immensity which we may freely call void: in it are unnumerable globes like this on which we live and grow, this space we declare to be infinite, since neither reason, convenience, sense-perception nor nature assign to it a limit.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000042754
Keith Knight is mapping out a previously unknown vector of the vast cartoon universe.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001014687
Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000035662
Geometry is the only science that it hath pleased God hitherto to bestow on mankind.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001101807
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001013655
A triangle with four points is what Euclid rides into hell.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 000603343
As lines, so loves oblique, may well Themselves in every angle greet; But ours, so truly parallel, Though infinite, can never meet.
Cartesian Quotes : pic 001305799
It is in the world of things and places, times and troubles and turbid
processes, that mathematics is not so much applied as illustrated.
