“When we say ‘our rulers’, we mean those who are engaged in the manipulation of symbols. There is no escape from the fact that they do, and that they always will, rule mankind, because we constitute a symbolic class of life, and we cannot cease from being so, except by regressing to the animal level.”

“We all know in practice about a ‘sensation’, and a ‘mental picture’ or ‘idea’. As ‘sensations’ were often very deceptive and, therefore, did not always lead to survival, a nervous system which somehow retained vestiges, or ‘memories’, of former ‘sensations’ and could recombine them, shift them., proved of higher survival value”

“That ‘linguists’, ‘psychologists’, ‘logicians’., were, and usually are, very innocent of mathematics, a type of language of the greatest simplicity and perfection, with a clear-cut structure, similar to the structure of the world, Seems to be responsible for this helplessness. Without a study of mathematics, the adjustment of structure seems impossible.”
