Blaise Pascal
To speak freely of mathematics, I find it the highest exercise of the spirit but at the same time I know that it is so useless that I make little distinction between a man who is only a mathematician and a common artisan. Also, I call it the most beautiful profession in the world but it is only a profession.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
