Carl Sagan Quotes
At The Stourbridge Fair In 1663, At Age Twenty, He Purchased A Book On Astrology, "out Of A Curiosity To See What There Was In It." He Read It Until He Came To An Illustration Which He Could Not Understand, Because He Was Ignorant Of Trigonometry. So He Purchased A Book On Trigonometry But Soon Found Himself Unable To Follow The Geometrical Arguments. So He Found A Copy Of Euclid's Elements Of Geometry, And Began To Read. Two Years Later He Invented The Differential Calculus.
