"Although I am even now still a layman in the area of mathematics, and although I lack theoretical knowledge, the mathematicians, and in particular the crystallographers, have had considerable influence on my work of the last twenty years. The laws of the phenomena around us--order, regularity, cyclical repetition, and renewals--have assumed greater and greater importance for me. The awareness of their presence gives me peace and provides me with support. I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, and not in a formless chaos, as it sometimes seems."

-- M. C. Escher

“All the children in the world, when they go to school, have the right to study in their mother tongue. But we go to school and run into literary Arabic as children.

Classical Arabic is one of the prisons of the Arab world.”
