"It is not the mere power of calculation that the Analytical Engine possesses. It is the power to combine, to arrange, to create."

"I am convinced that the universe is governed by laws that can be understood through mathematics."

"We may say most aptly that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard-loom weaves flowers and leaves."

"The more I think about it, the more I see that there are endless possibilities for this machine."

"I am driven by a desire to understand the fundamental laws of the universe."
