A quote from Kiyosi Itô, mathematician and 1998 Kyoto laureate, born #OnThisDay in in 1915:

‘In precisely built mathematical structures, mathematicians find the same sort of beauty others find in enchanting pieces of music, or in magnificent architecture.’

— Itô, 'My Sixty Years along the Path of Probability Theory'. 1998 Kyoto Prize lecture abstract [https://www.kyotoprize.org/en/speech/the-1998-kyoto-prize/]

(One of innumerable testimonies indicating that the subjective experience of #MathematicalBeauty parallels that of visual or auditory beauty.)
