Click For Summary
Every Banach space can be represented as a quotient of l_1(I) for an appropriate indexing set I. This result is particularly well-known for separable Banach spaces, which can be shown to be quotients of l_1(ℕ). A proof for this specific case is available in Morrison's "Functional Analysis: An Introduction to Banach Space Theory." Additionally, other resources such as Lindenstrauss-Tzafriri, Dunford-Schwarz, or Megginson may provide proofs for the broader result. Exploring these texts will help clarify the relationship between Banach spaces and l_1 spaces.

I'm currently studying Intro to Tensor Products of Banach Spaces by Ryan. In it he makes the off-hand remark

We recall that every Banach space is a quotient of l_1(I) for some suitably chosen indexing set I.

Is it? Does anyone know what this result is called, or where I can find a proof of it?
Cheers in advance - O

The fact that a separable Banach space is a quotient of \ell_1(\mathbb{N}) is pretty well-known, and a proof can be found for example on pages 103-104 of
Morrison, Functional Analysis: An Introduction to Banach Space Theory. Wiley-Interscience, 2000.

I just scanned the proof and I think you can easily modify it to get the result you want. Or you can try Lindenstrauss-Tzafriri, Dunford-Schwarz or Megginson to see if they have a proof of the general result.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
