Ce miracle de l'Analyse, prodige du monde des idées, objet presque amphibie entre l'Être et le Non-être, que nous appelons racine imaginaire. - Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Nihil est sine ratione.
[There is nothing without a reason.]

Không có toán học chúng ta không thể đi sâu vào triết học. Không có triết học chúng ta không thể đi sâu vào toán học. Không có cả hai chúng ta không thể đi sâu vào bất cứ thứ gì

[The consequences of] beliefs that go against the providence of a perfectly good, wise, and just God, or against that immortality of souls which lays them open to the operations of justice.... I even find that somewhat similar opinions, by stealing gradually into the minds of men of high station who rule the rest and on whom affairs depend, and by slithering into fashionable books, are inclining everything toward the universal revolution with which Europe is threatened, and are completing the destruction of what still remains in the world of the generous Greeks and Romans who placed love of country and of the public good, and the welfare of before fortune and even before life.
