And this is why...

"The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful. Of course, I do not speak here of that beauty which strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities and appearances, not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profound beauty which comes from the harmonious order of the parts and which a pure intelligence can grasp."
