“Since geometry is co-eternal with the divine mind before the birth of things, God himself served as his own model in creating the world (for what is there in God which is not God?), and he with his own image reached down to humanity.” WorldMindHumanityDivineBirthEternalCreatingModelsGeometry Author:Johannes Kepler
“Why waste words? Geometry existed before the Creation, is co-eternal with the mind of God, is God himself (what exists in God that is not God himself?): geometry provided God with a model for the Creation and was implanted into man, together with God's own likeness - and not merely conveyed to his mind through the eyes.” MenMindEyeTogetherHistoryCreationWasteEternalModelsMathematicsGeometryThrough The Eyes Author:Johannes Kepler
“... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It's not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I'm able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.” IfsHumansAblePainCertainFoundProcessBornLinesHuman BeingsFailingEternalRelationMathematicsSymbolsAngleManipulateGeometryHuman Relations Author:Louise Bourgeois
