Quote of the Day

I just finished reading an article by Gerald Folland about communication between mathematicians and others, and he mentioned (and hence reminded me of) the following wonderful quote:

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language, and forthwith it is something entirely different. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
