Quote from Wilson in Bye Bye Birdie
Wilson: I see your son Brad is assiduously poring over his academic tomes. Tim: His what? Oh, yeah, he's studying. Hey, Wilson, do you know how to multiply compound fractions? Wilson: 'Course I do, Tim. I love mathematics. It's one of the building blocks of thought. Nothing teaches order and discipline better. You know what Galileo Galilei said. Tim: Yeah, sure. 1601, Florence. "Why do both of my names sound the same?" Wilson: No, he said, "The universe is written in the language of mathematics. Its characters are triangles, circles, other geometric figures. Without mathematics, one wanders about in a dark labyrinth." Tim: Labyrinth? Wilson: Let's just say a maze. Tim: I know I am.
