Famous Quote

Without mathematics we cannot penetrate deeply into philosophy.
Without philosophy we cannot penetrate deeply into mathematics.
Without both we cannot penetrate deeply into anything.   
- Excerpts of this translation come from Meta Math![1] by Gregory Chaitin

This recursive reference shows a form of unity that is composed of mathematics and philosophy, which resembles the idea of Monadology, coin-phrased by Leibniz.
