Philosophy is
written in this immense book that stands ever open before our eyes (I speak of
the universe), but it cannot be read if one does not first learn the language
and recognise the characters in which it is written. It is written in
mathematical language, and the characters are triangles, circles and other
geometrical figures, without the means of which it is humanly impossible to
understand a word; without these philosophy is confused wandering in a dark
labyrinth. - Galileo Galilei
it is better to
light a candle than to curse the darkness
[ old saying quoted from Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted
World" ]
