About Thomas Hobbes He was 40 years old before he looked on geometry which happened accidentally. Being in a gentleman's library, Euclid's Elements lay open, and 'twas the 47 El. libri I' Pythagoras' Theorem. He read the proposition 'By God', sayd he, 'this is impossible' So he reads the demonstration of it, which referred him back to such a proposition which proposition he read. That referred him back to another, which he also read. Et sic deinceps, that at last he was demonstratively convinced of that truth. This made him in love with geometry.
John Aubrey
