h, please

... I've got the quote, but not the author. Wandering off wracking brain...

[vinjashira]

are you missing an A in the author's name, Karen?

[Karen]

No, I am not - the book I got the quote from spells the author's name differently than some so, but there are over 70,000 incidences of the spell the book uses on the web, so I went with it.

Some places spell Pythagorus as Pythagoras and everyone who guessed previously used that, or another spelling, so you win!
