Isaac Asimov Quotes About Mathematics

Quotes about: Mathematics

How comfortable to turn instead to a small world, only a few thousand years old, and under God's personal; and immediate care; a world in which you are His peculiar concern.

  Isaac Asimov

  God, Science, Years

  Isaac Asimov

  Years, Way, Gone
