Freud Sigmund. 1856-1939.
Austrian physician and pioneer psychoanalyst.
"I have an infamously low
capability for visualizing spatial
relationships which made the study of geometry
and all subjects derived from it impossible to me."
 "The
doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show
them nothing but what is shown to him." - While not directly about math
or geometry, this quote reflects a sense of objectivity and precision
that is often associated with mathematical and geometric concepts.

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth but supreme
beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal
to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of
painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection
such as only the greatest art can show." - This quote from Freud
acknowledges the beauty and purity of mathematics.
