"Memorabilia Mathematica; or, the Philomath's Quotation-Book" by Robert Edouard Moritz is a collection of mathematical quotations written in the early 20th century. This work brings together over a thousand quotations from various thinkers, discussing diverse perspectives on mathematics and its significance in understanding the world. The book aims to serve as a valuable resource for teachers, writers, and enthusiasts of mathematics, providing inspiration and insight into the discipline's philosophical and practical implications. The beginning of the book includes a preface in which Moritz outlines the purpose and scope of the collection. He notes the importance of precise references for each quote and discusses the challenges of compiling such a comprehensive anthology. The opening introduces the reader to a series of notable thoughts on the nature of mathematics, indicating that it encompasses a wide range of views from poets, philosophers, and mathematicians, all conveying a deep appreciation for the subject. Moritz expresses hope that the work will encourage both mathematicians and laypersons to engage more fully with the beauty and depth of mathematical thought.
