"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."

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

“The language of categories is affectionately known as "abstract nonsense," so named by Norman Steenrod. This term is essentially accurate and not necessarily derogatory: categories refer to "nonsense" in the sense that they are all about the "structure," and not about the "meaning," of what they represent.”
Paolo Aluffi, Algebra: Chapter 0

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

Charles Baudelaire
“—Hypocrite lecteur,—mon semblable,—mon frère!”
Charles Baudelaire
