Edgar Allan PoE. The purloined letter (№ 434389)

Mathematical axioms are by no means universal truth axioms. What is true of the relationship of form and quantity often turns out to be blatantly false when applied, for example, to morality. In this last position, that the sum of the parts is equal to the whole, most often turns out to be wrong. This axiom does not apply to chemistry either. When considering motives, it also turns out to be wrong.
