“For out of olde feldes, as men seith,

And out of olde bokes, in good feith,
Cometh al this newe science that men lere.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
