I like to decorate notebooks and folders with things relating to that subject. For next year I think I will do quotes from my musicals, but I am struggling to come up with quotes about Math and Science.

"Mine will come as a surprise to me. Mine I leave to chance and chemistry."

"Chemistry?"

"Yeah, chemistry."

 

...and later in the show:

"Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning"

"Chemistry?"

 

(Of course, Sky and Sarah might be referring to a different type of ~chemistry~)

"Have you ever wondered, well I have.
About how when I say, say red, for example.
There's no way of knowing if red
Means the same thing in your head
As red means in my head. When someone says red

And how if we are traveling at, almost the speed of light
And we're holding a light
That light would still travel away from us
At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way"

I add two and two, the most simple addition, then swear that the figures are lying
I’m a much better comic than mathematician ‘cause i’m better onstage than at intermission
And as far as the man is concerned, if I’ve been burned I haven’t learned.

- Fanny Brice, Funny Girl

About the closest I can come up with:

Seasons of Love/Rent:

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?
