Seneca the Younger (Seneca) Quotes
...the geometrician teaches me how to work out the size of my estates rather than how to work out how much a man needs in order to have enough....You geometers can calculate the area of circles, can reduce any given shape to a square, can state the distances separating starts.

You can define a straight line; what use is that to you if you've no idea what straightness means in life?
