Infinity

Nature is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.
- Blaise Pascal, 1623 - 1662

Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
- Leonardo da Vinci, 1452 - 1519

This is the truth: As from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.
- Maitri Upanishad

The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.
- Franz Kafka, 1883 - 1924

Infinities and indivisibles transcend our finite understanding, the former on account of their magnitude, the latter because of their smallness; Imagine what they are when combined.
- Galileo Galilei, 1564 - 1642

A sine curve goes off to infinity or at least the end of the blackboard.
- Professor Steiner
