Quote by Carl von Clausewitz

Beauty cannot be defined by abscissas and ordinates; neither are circles and ellipses created by their geometrical formulas.

Beauty cannot be defined by abscissas and ordinates; neither

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty cannot be understood or quantified purely through mathematical or scientific theories. It argues that beauty is a concept that transcends the rigid constraints of mathematical equations or geometric shapes. Beauty cannot be fully captured or explained by coordinates on a graph, just as circles and ellipses cannot be solely created by their mathematical formulas. The quote highlights the elusive and subjective nature of beauty, suggesting that it is something intangible and can only be appreciated and understood through personal perception and interpretation.
