"Mathematics is the study of analogies between analogies.……" — Gian-Carlo Rota

"Mathematics is the study of analogies between analogies. All science is. Scientists want to show that things that don't look alike are really the same. That is one of their innermost Freudian motivations. In fact, that is what we mean by understanding."
