A memorable quote

“
We know that mathematicians care no more for logic than logicians for mathematics. The two eyes of science are mathematics and logic; the mathematical set puts out the logical eye, the logical set puts out the mathematical eye; each believing that it sees better with one eye than with two.
— Augustus De Morgan, British mathematician and logician who was blind in one eye. (1806-1871)
