It is obviously difficult to decide in what class of things to put the subject-matter of geometry without missing the truth about it. If we regard the figures that the geometer talks about as belonging to the sense world and inseparable from matter, how can we any longer say that geometry emancipates us from sensible things, converts us to the realm of bodiless existence, habituates us to the sight of intelligibles, and prepares us for activity in accordance with Nous? And where among sensible things have we seen the point without parts, the line without breadth, the surface without thickness, the equality of the lines from the center, or in general any of the polygonal and polyhedral figures about which geomety teaches us? And how can the propositions of this science remain irrefutable when the figures and forms of sensible things are only more or less what they are, moving and changing in every way and full of all the indeterminateness of matter, when equality is composed of its opposite inequality, and indivisibles parade as divisible and separated?

— Proclus Lycius, A commentary on the first book of Euclid's Elements
