In itself (Mathematics), it has taken all possible precautions against interpretation: no parasitical signification can worm itself into it. Mathematical language is a finished language.
Myth on the contrary, is a language that does not want to die: it wrests from the meanings which give it its sustenance an insidious, degraded survival, it provokes in them an artificial reprieve from which it settles comfortably, it turns them into speaking corpses.
-Barthes
