Alfred North Whitehead Quotes

The Point Of Mathematics Is That In It We Have Always Got Rid Of The Particular Instance, And Even Of Any Particular Sorts Of Entities. So That For Example, No Mathematical Truths Apply Merely To Fish, Or Merely To Stones, Or Merely To Colours. So Long As You Are Dealing With Pure Mathematics, You Are In The Realm Of Complete And Absolute Abstraction ... Mathematics Is Thought Moving In The Sphere Of Complete Abstraction From Any Particular Instance Of What It Is Talking About.
