Dostoevsky on mathemathical certainty

"But yet mathematical certainty is after all, something insufferable. 
Twice two makes four seems to me simply a
piece of insolence.  Twice two makes four is a pert coxcomb who stands
with arms akimbo barring your path and spitting.  I admit that twice
two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are to give everything
its due, twice two makes five is sometimes a very charming thing too. Once you
have mathematical certainty there is nothing left to do or to
understand."
