C'este donc par
l'etude des
mathematiques, et
seulement par elle,
que l'on peut se
faire une idee juste
et approfondie de ce
que c'est qu'une
science.
[It is through the
study of
mathematics, and
only through it,
that one can form a
fair and
comprehensive idea
of what science is.]
Quoted by T. H. Huxley in Fortnightly Review, Vol. II, N.S. 5.
