Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
—Blaise Pascal
A googolplex is precisely as far from infinity as is the number 1… no matter what number you have in mind, infinity is larger still.
—Carl Sagan in Cosmos
Intent is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. Intent is what can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is defeated. It operates in spite of the warrior's indulgence. Intent is what makes him invulnerable. Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity.
—Carlos Castaneda
There is a fifth dimension beyond those known to man. It is a dimension vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between the pit of his fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area called the Twilight Zone.
—Rod Serling
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
—Albert Einstein
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
—Douglas Adams
Endless money forms the sinews of war.
—Cicero
As an individual, with your death there will be an end of you. But your individuality is not your true and final being, indeed it is rather the mere expression of it,… only the phenomenon presented in the form of time, and accordingly has both a beginning and an end. Your being in itself, on the contrary, knows neither time, nor beginning, nor end, nor the limits of a given individuality.… So that, in the first sense, after death you become nothing; in the second, you are and remain everything.
—Arthur Schopenhauer
It's hopeless! Tomorrow there'll be even more books I should have read than there are today.
—Ashleigh Brilliant
