One of them famous Bertrand Russell quotes:

  "Physics is mathematical not because we
   know so much about the physical world,
   but because we know so little; it is only
   its mathematical properties that we can
   discover."

This was essentially a throwaway quip-- I don't think
Russell ever expanded on this point.
