first thing

Posted on

Let’s start the day with a quote, shall we? Here’s one for all you math-lovers out there (all two of you) from me, the math lover.

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell.

(St. Augustine)

One thought on “first thing”

  1. As I recall my last mathematics final, I can only agree wholeheartedly with the saint.

    Well, not totally true. The only time I have ever had an actually real not-to-be-mistaken-for-anything-else panic attack was directly before a physics exam, which I was simply unable to take as a result. But you know, I feel okay lumping the two fields together in this case.
