From the book Groups and Symmetries, From Finite Groups to Lie Groups By Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach ( and translated by Stephanie Frank Singer ).
Once you understand the concept of a 'group' you can hardly imagine that there were days that you didn't understand groups or worse: that you were completely ignorant about them. That's basically how important groups are, they are as fundamental to mathematics as numbers or graphs. - Although Lie Groups aren't part of M208 or courses I planned for next year I am studying them. I am making progress but it's slow. I am no longer in complete darkness but there is a lot of mist.
