Jacob Bronowski Quotes:
Ocupation: Mathematician
Life: January 18, 1908 - August 22, 1974
Birthday: January 18
Death: August 22
We re-make nature by the act of discovery, in the poem or in the theorem. And the great poem and the deep theorem are new to every reader, and yet are his own experiences, because he himself re-creates them. They are the marks of unity in variety; and in the instant when the mind seizes this for itself, in art or in science, the heart misses a beat.
