"...what must be stressed even more at this point is that the most exact scientific knowledge of nature, of plants, animals, the earth and its history, or of the stars, is of no use to us unless we have acquired the necessary equipment for representing it; that the most penetrating understanding of the way these things work together in the universe is useless to us unless we are equipped with the appropriate forms; that the profoundest mind, the most beautiful soul, are of no use to us unless we have the corresponding forms to hand...
I shall begin where pictorial form has to begin; with the point that sets itself in motion."

-Paul Klee, The Thinking Eye
