For if a man says that the lines which are drawn from the centre of the circle to the circumference are not equal, he understands by the circle, at all events for the time, something else than mathematicians understand by it.
Baruch Spinoza
I do not presume that I have found the best philosophy, I know that I understand the true philosophy.
Baruch Spinoza
