I do Cu's if you take the parts out of the hole, you'll be left with lots of little parts and one big hole.
I can't find a reference for that exact wording of the phrase, but Zeno of Elea (died 246 BC, creator of Zeno's Paradox) wrote "The whole is greater than the part; we are capable of wisdom, and we are part of the world. Therefore the world is wise"

i do not know who originally said it but It is the primary principle of the German Gestalt theorists that including such people as Max Wertheimer (1923), Wolfgang Köhler (1920) and Kurt Koffka (1938). The term refers to the way in which we make sense of our environment and what we perceive. The Gestalt theorists claim that we group objects together to simplify our world. If we look at an object such as a car we do not seen individual elements I.e. wheel, mirrors we see the car as a whole. The same can be said form many things for example we do not see individual blades of grass we see a lawn etc. The whole (the full picture) is greater then the sum of its parts (individual elements).
