“With me, everything turns into mathematics.”
Mais apud me omnia fiunt Mathematicè in Natura More closely translated as: but in my opinion, all things in nature occur mathematically. Note: "Mais" is French for "but" and the "but in my opinion" comes from the context of the original conversation. apud me omnia fiunt Mathematicè in Natura is in latin. Sometimes the Latin version is incorrectly quoted as Omnia apud me mathematica fiunt.
