Quotes About Inf

There is no such thing as death. Life existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we leave this world. Same with love, it existed before and will go on forever.
~ Paulo Coelho
From the stars," she thought, "doubtless all things are seen.
~ Pearl S. Buck
Je suis comme un pont fragile, reliant à travers l'infini le passé et le présent. Je serre la main maternelle. Je ne peux pas la laisser échapper, car sans moi ma mère serait seule.
~ Pearl S. Buck
A mathematical point is the most indivisble and unique thing which art can present.
~ John Donne
I knew what infinity was. Being a previous art student, I knew about some art concepts.
~ Lynne Rae Perkins
if nothing endswhere do we begin?
~ Natasha Tsakos
There is no object on earth which cannot be looked at from a cosmic point of view.
~ Fyodor Dostoevsky
I love you and I will until the end of time.And just as she said the words, two bright stars drifted past them overhead and disappeared into the night sky together…
~ Danielle Steel
And as I looked at the star, I realised what millions of other people have realised when looking at stars. We're tiny. We don't matter. We're here for a second and then gone the next. We're a sneeze in the life of the universe.
~ Danny Wallace
A circle is the strongest shape in the universe. Nothing can beat it, nothing can improve upon it, nothing can be more perfect.
~ Dave Eggers
If one computes the amount of energy that would be in one cubic centimeter of space, with this shortest possible wavelength, it turns out to be very far beyond the total energy of all the matter known in the universe.
~ David Bohm
It's only forever, not long at all
~ David Bowie
Absolutes do not exist in this universe.
~ David D. Burns
Al parecer, hay personas profundamente temerosas de sus propias emociones, en especial de las dolorosas. Penas profundas, arrepentimientos, tristezas. En especial la tristeza, tal vez. Como si algo que se siente de verdad y por completo no tuviera fin ni fondo. Algo que podría volverse infinito y atraparlos.
~ David Foster Wallace
that traversing an infinite number of dimensionless mathematical points is not obviously paradoxical in the way that traversing an infinite number of physical-space points is.
~ David Foster Wallace
Forever Overhead No time is passing outside you at all. It is amazing. The late ballet below is slow motion, the overbroad movements of mimes in blue jelly. If you wanted you could really stay here forever, vibrating inside so fast you float motionless in time, like a bee over something sweet.
~ David Foster Wallace
So while a thing in a finite time cannot come in contact with things quantitatively infinite, it can come in contact with things infinite in respect of divisibility: for in this sense the time itself is also infinite.
~ David Foster Wallace
Like the Dichotomy's VIR, surds represent gaps or holes in the N.L., interstices through which the limitless chaos of (infinity) could enter and mess with the tidiness of Attic math.
~ David Foster Wallace
But what G. Cantor posits as the defining formal property of an infinite set is that such a set can be put in a 1-1C with at least one of its proper subsets. Which is to say that an infinite set can have the same cardinal number as its proper subset, as in Galileo's infinite set of all positive integers and that set's proper subset of all perfect squares, which latter is itself an infinite set.
~ David Foster Wallace
Specifically, Aristotle claims that no spatial extension (e.g. the intercurb interval AB) is 'actually infinite,' but that all such extensions are 'potentially infinite' in the sense of being infinitely divisible.
~ David Foster Wallace
Some of the stars seemed to flutter, others to burn with more steadiness.
~ David Foster Wallace
The extreme mathematical weirdness of (infinity), which Galileo spends a lot of time in TNS giving examples of, is rather presciently attributed to epistemology instead of metaphysics. Paradoxes arise, according to G.G.'s mouthpiece, only when we attempt, with our finite minds, to discuss the infinite, assigning to it those properties which we give to the finite and limited.
~ David Foster Wallace
but let's emphasize once more here that G. Cantor is, like R. Dedekind, a mathematical Platonist; i.e., he believes that both infinite sets and transfinite numbers really exist, as in metaphysically, and that they are reflected in actual real-world infinities.....
~ David Foster Wallace
In other words, Cantor is able to show that real numbers themselves can serve as the limits of fundamental sequences of reals, meaning his system of definitions is self-enclosed and VIR-proof.
~ David Foster Wallace
