"Category theory was introduced by Eilenberg and Mac Lane in the 1940s. {-}.In this book, I will be sure to use examples that do not do that, including examples from daily experience such as family relationships, train journeys, freezing and thawing food, and more hard-hitting subjects such as racism and privilege...{-}...More than technical prowess or a huge litany of theorems, I want to share the joy of abstraction."

Steven Weinberg
“Whatever the final laws of nature may be, there is no reason to suppose that they are designed to make physicists happy.”
Steven Weinberg, To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science

André Pieyre de Mandiargues
“It was rightly said of Sade that his is the work of a moralist. Erotic books are almost all alike in this respect: either they are working toward the elaboration of a revolutionary morality, or they echo the morality of their age, against which they are protesting.”
André Pieyre de Mandiargues

Steven Weinberg
“I have a friend — or had a friend, now dead — Abdus Salam, a very devout Muslim, who was trying to bring science into the universities in the Gulf states and he told me that he had a terrible time because, although they were very receptive to technology, they felt that science would be a corrosive to religious belief, and they were worried about it… and damn it, I think they were right. It is corrosive of religious belief, and it’s a good thing too.”
Steven Weinberg

Albert Einstein
“On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 70th birthday. "Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.”
Albert Einstein

Franz Kafka
“the poisonous world flows into my mouth like water into that of a drowning man”
Franz Kafka, Diaries, 1910-1923
