French mathematician, theoretical physicist, and philosopher of science
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. . . . Of course I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses . . . I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmonious order of the parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.
