Literary Quotations & Historical Citations

"Since every locale is of the form #92;mbox#123;Sub#125;#95;#92;mathcal#123;E#125;(1) [subobjects of the terminal object in #92;mathcal#123;E#125;] for some topos #92;mathcal#123;E#125;, locale theory can be regarded as the fragment of topos theory concerning subobjects of 1.
