A Filosofia é escrita naquele imenso livro que vem continuamente se abrindo diante de nossos olhos (quero dizer, o universo), porém não é compreendido até que primeiramente alguém estude a linguagem e compreenda os caracteres nos quais esse livro é escrito. A linguagem desse livro é matemática e os caracteres são os triângulos, os círculos e outras figuras geométricas.
THE BOOK OF THE UNIVERSE
“Philosophy is written in that very large book that is continually opened before our eyes (I mean the universe), but which is not understood unless first one studies the language and knows the characters in which it is written. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.”
