"Almost all wisdom emanated from the barbarians to the the Greeks, from the Greeks to us; hence in their manner of philosophizing our writers have always thought it sufficient to stand with foreign discoveries and to cultivate alien things. Sacred letters need to be sought wholly - and the more secret mysteries first - from the Hebrews and Chaldeans, then from the Greeks. The rest of the arts and all parts of philosophy the Greeks divide with the Arabs. Who can progress in these things if he does not go to them?"
Pico, letter to the Pope during the controversy.
