I like that. B.

We are much more justified in assuming that here we have a purely instinctive creation, that the tendency to abstraction has created this form with elementary necessity without the intervention of the intellect. Just because the intellect had not distubed the instinct, the innate disposition toward regularity could find abstract expression..These abstract regular forms are thus the only and the highest forms in which man can rest in face of the immense confusion of the cosmos" ____________________________________________________________ You will believe your eyes!
