Homo Technicus

Бояї-отець, що писав своєму синові застереження проти спроб вивести четвертий постулат Евкліда, зробив на мій погляд одну з найбільш точних характеристик того, як доволі часто виглядає наукова діяльність:

You must not attempt this approach to parallels. I know this way to the very end. I have traversed this bottomless night, which extinguished all light and joy in my life. I entreat you, leave the science of parallels alone... I was ready to become a martyr who would remove the flaw from geometry and return it purified to mankind. I accomplished monstrous, enormous labors; my creations are far better than those of others and yet I have not achieved complete satisfaction... I turned back when I saw that no man can reach the bottom of this night. I turned back unconsoled, pitying myself and all mankind. Learn from my example...
