It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

John Green

[Georg Cantor was the first to prove that there could be a series of infinities; that infinities come in an infinite number of sizes.] Thus Cantor's Absolute is a perfect image for what we experience of God. When I speak of a Big Enough God I am not merely thinking of an Infinite God, but the God of infinities, the Absolute, which either chooses to reveal itself or remains veiled in mystery. Modern mathematics does begin to feel like the language that God talks.

Sara Maitland

Two infinities: the one that stretches to the beginning but never touches-when you halve and halve and halve, infinitely-and then the one that spreads out into the endless, endless future, the endless, endless, distance.The set of infinities that is itself infinite.

David Levithan

There are two infinities: God and stupidity.

Edgard Varese

In the western philosophy you can't perceive infinities at every moment. It's not there to do.

Frederick Lenz

Religion is absolutely unfathomable. Always and everywhere one can dig more deeply into infinities.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

There are two infinities in this world: God up above, and down below, human baseness.

Jules de Goncourt

I see the beauty of God's archetypal infinity reflected in the towers of infinities in set theory

Vern Poythress

The sky is one whole, the water another; and between those two infinities the soul of man is in loneliness.

Henryk Sienkiewicz

'The Infinities' is a shortish book but densely loaded with Nabokovian slyness, gorgeous imagery, and disturbing insights into what it means to be mortal.

Justin Cartwright

Infinities are not for casual exploration. You could fall and keep falling. You could get lost.

Laini Taylor

But let us remember that we are dealing with infinities and indivisibles both of which transcend our finite understanding, the former on account of their magnitude, the latter because of their smallness.

Galileo Galilei

Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means.

Paul Gauguin

Thus passing through the infinite varieties of space we reach the Divine space which is absolutely free from all dimensions and constitutes the meeting point of all infinities.

Muhammad Iqbal

There's a place this moment comes from, where it's made. Actually, it's like a big factory where they make moments, where they make realities, where they make infinities.

Frederick Lenz

"When we contemplate the duration of the universe, we see it limited to the present moment, which is nothing more but the point which separates two infinities of time. The past and the future are as meaningless as if they did not exist. Is anyone more misguided than the man who barters an eternal future for a moment which passes quicker than the blink of an eye?."

Ibn Hazm
