Quotes About Infinitude

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
as the eye is the best composer, so light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make beautiful. And the stimulus it affords to the sense, and a sort of infinitude which it hath, like space and time, make all matter gay. Even the corpse has its own beauty.

In tutte le coppie che si amano c'è sempre nella donna una caratteristica unica come la sua, su cui per un attimo lo sguardo dell'uomo si fissa con intensità. Una spirale infinita dove uno si rispecchia nell'altro.
~ Banana Yoshimoto
It was strange: When you reduced even a fledgling love affair to its essentials - I loved her, she maybe loved me, I was foolish, I suffered - it became vacuous and trite, meaningless to anyone else.

Even though man himself is mortal, he can imagine neither the end of space nor of time nor of history nor of a people, for he always lives in an illusory infinitude. Those who are fascinated by the idea of progress do not suspect that everything moving forward is at the same time bringing the end nearer and that joyous watchwords like 'forward' and 'farther' are the lascivious voice of death urging us to hasten to it.

In the end, it's only the moments that we have, the kiss on the palm, the joint wonder at the furrowed texture of a fir trunk or at the infinitude of grains of sand in a dune. Only the moments.
~ Susan Vreeland

~ Charles Fort
What they're doing down there is mourning. As millions of people across the infinitude of the grid shall always be mourning, coping with every imaginable variation of loss. Every loss deserves a telling.
~ Greg Hrbek
Dragostea e temperamental?. Obositoare. Are exigenÈ›ele ei. Dragostea te foloseÈ™te. Se r?zgandeÈ™te. (...) Dar ura... Este ceva de care te poÈ›i folosi. O poÈ›i sculpta. O poÈ›i mânui.
