"Disampaikan dari Archimedes muda:. . . [dia] sangat terpesona oleh dasar-dasar aljabar seperti halnya jika saya memberinya mesin yang dikerjakan dengan uap, dengan lampu roh yang dimetilasi untuk memanaskan ketel; lebih terpesona, mungkin karena mesinnya akan rusak, dan, tetap selalu sendiri, dalam hal apa pun akan kehilangan pesonanya, sementara dasar-dasar aljabar terus tumbuh dan berkembang dalam pikirannya dengan kemewahan yang tak pernah gagal. Setiap hari dia menemukan sesuatu yang baginya tampak sangat indah; mainan baru itu tak habis-habisnya dalam potensinya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Spoken of the young Archimedes: . . . [he] was as much enchanted by the rudiments of algebra as he would have been if I had given him an engine worked by steam, with a methylated spirit lamp to heat the boiler; more enchanted, perhaps for the engine would have got broken, and, remaining always itself, would in any case have lost its charm, while the rudiments of algebra continued to grow and blossom in his mind with an unfailing luxuriance. Every day he made the discovery of something which seemed to him exquisitely beautiful; the new toy was inexhaustible in its potentialities.
