So I'm a victim again. A result . (Quote by - James Hillman)

Algebra reverses the relative importance of the factors in ordinary language.

The algebraic method is our best approach to the expression of necessity, by reason of its reduction of accident to the ghostlike character of the real variable. (Quote by - Alfred North Whitehead)
