Quotes About Inf

oh my God - it's full of stars!
~ Arthur C. Clarke
Love is one of the simplest of what we call the Mysteries, and yet the strongest, like air: the greatest treasure cannot buy it nor the smartest thief steal it nor the most powerful emperor command it. And like air, it freely fills to infinity whatever is open to it.
~ Sherwood Smith
Looking up as she did immediately, she saw immeasurable space, traveling past the locked hands of the trees, past the large nodding implacable heads, up and into the silence of the sky, where the stars remained, indifferent.
~ Shirley Jackson
When you accept everything, everything is beyond dimensions. The earth is not great nor a grain of sand small. In the realm of Great Activity picking up a grain of sand is the same as taking up the whole universe. To save one sentient being is to save all sentient beings. Your efforts of this moment to save one person is the same as the eternal merit of Buddha.
~ Shunryu Suzuki
All this and infinitely more in the space of sixty seconds, Dana thought. And then time ticks on until it finally sends us into the same unknown eternity.
~ Sidney Sheldon
it seems as though Descartes (once more influenced by ideas from previous philosophical traditions) may have slipped into thinking that an idea of X actually shares X. So an idea of infinity, for instance, would be an infinite idea.
~ Simon Blackburn
Así, todo esfuerzo del hombre por establecer una relación con el infinito es vana. No puede entrar en relación con Dios, sino a través de la humanidad, y en la humanidad, no alcanza jamás sino a ciertos hombres, y no puede crear sino situaciones limitadas. Si sueña con dilatarse al infinito, se pierde rápidamente. Se pierde en sueños pues, de hecho, no deja de estar ahí, de testimoniar por sus proyectos infinitos su presencia finita.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
A long life filled with laughter, tears, quarrels, embraces, confessions, silences, and sudden impulses of the heart: and yet sometimes it seems that time has not moved by at all. The future still stretches out to infinity.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
Algunos días detestaba el mar; era monótono e infinito como la ausencia.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
Evil is license, and that is why it is monotonous: everything has to be drawn from ourselves. One is condemned to false infinity. That is hell itself.
~ Simone Weil
God] created beings capable of love from all possible distances. Because no other could do it, he himself went to the greatest possible distance, the infinite distance. This infinite distance between God and God, this supreme tearing apart, this agony beyond all others, this marvel of love, is the crucifixion. Nothing can be further from God than that which has been made accursed.
~ Simone Weil
If we apply to the present the point of that desire within us which corresponds to finality, it pierces right through to the eternal.
~ Simone Weil
Monotonie du mal : rien de nouveau, tout y est équivalent. Rien de réel, tout y est imaginaire. C'est à cause de cette monotonie que la quantité joue un si grand rôle. Beaucoup de femmes (don Juan) ou d'hommes (Célimène), etc. Condamné à la fausse infinité. C'est là l'enfer même.
~ Simone Weil
Spiritual superiority only sees the individual. But alas, ordinarily we human beings are sensual and, therefore, as soon as it is a gathering, the impression changes- we see something abstract, the crowd, and we become different. But in the eyes of God, the infinite spirit, all the millions that have lived and now live do not make a crowd, He only sees each individual.
~ Soren Kierkegaard

I adore you, my greatest love, as only through you I can find my moment's eternity.
~ Sorin Cerin
Parallel lines meet in eternity but Parallel lives meet for tea

~ Kat Kaelin
I've only got forever and forever is fine
~ Ashton Irwin

~ Sohail Umar
Now she knew living was just a brief hiatus, a blip really, in the infinite line of nothingness that composed that shadowy realm of the unknown. It could stop at any time.
