TITLE: Source for derogatory quote about graph theory
QUESTION [9 upvotes]: (Edited in accordance with suggestions in comments.) 
I remember once I read a quote that sounded like "graph theory is the scum of topology" (please approximate). I can not find it on the web, and I can not remember who said this. Or did I dream it after a heavy meal?

REPLY [12 votes]: Graph theory is the slum of topology...
You may have read it in the first paragraph of the very first opinion of Prof. Zeilberger:
Topology: The slum of combinatorics OR "Don't show off too much, your specialty will soon be trivialized"
He attributes it therein to a certain Whitehead too (but it is not clear from his text to which Whitehead he is referring).
