 "Philosophy
is written in this grand book, 
  the universe, which stands
continually 
  open to our gaze. But the book cannot be 
  understood unless
one first learns to 
  comprehend the language and read the 
  characters in
which it is written. It is 
  written in the language of mathematics, 
  and
its characters are triangles, circles, 
  and other geometric figures
without which 
  it is humanly impossible to understand 
  a single word of
it; without these one is 
  wandering in a dark labyrinth."
 
  Galileo Galilei, 
  The Assayer (Il Saggiatore), 
1623
