Proclus Diadochus
412–485
Greek philosopher
Wherever there is number, there is beauty.
This therefore is Mathematics:
She reminds you of the invisible forms of the soul;
She gives life to her own discoveries;
She awakens the mind and purifies the intellect;
She brings light to our intrinsic ideas;
She abolishes oblivion and ignorance which are ours by birth.TOPICS: learning, education, philosophy, psychology
