Try "The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers." Richard Hamming

or

"Visualization is a method of computing.  It transforms the symbolic into
the geometric, enabling researchers to observe their simulations and
computations.  Visualization offers a method for seeing the unseen.  It
enriches the process of scientific discovery and fosters profound and
unexpected insights.  In many fields it is already revolutionizing the
way scientists do science."
