Finite Quotes

If you reject the infinite, you are stuck with the finite, and the finite is parochial... the best explanation of anything eventually involves universality, and therefore infinity. The reach of explanations cannot be limited by fiat Picture Quote #1

Our minds are finite and far from noble. Knowing their limits can help us to become better reasoners Picture Quote #1

And what are these fluxions? The velocities of evanescent increments. And what are these same evanescent increments? They are neither finite quantities, nor quantities infinitely small, nor yet nothing. May we not call them the ghosts of departed quantities...? Picture Quote #1

The transfinite numbers are in a certain sense themselves new irrationalities and in fact in my opinion the best method of defining the finite irrational numbers is wholly disimilar to, and I might even say in priciple the same as, my method described above of introducing trasfinite numbers. One can say unconditionally: the transfinite numbers stand or fall with the finite irrational numbers; they are like each other in their innermost being; for the former like the latter are definite delimited forms or modifications of the actual infinite Picture Quote #1

We live on a finite planet. We have finite resources, and we’re running out of good, arable land Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what it is, exactly, but there’s a negative drag on film sets after the second week or so, a mutinous vibe because the infinite capacities of the directors and everybody else become quite finite and everybody’s under the gun and it becomes work Picture Quote #1

I think the movie business and film crews are a little bit like the circus, in that we travel around like a pack and we’re a big family for a finite period of time. We roll into someplace, cause a bunch of damage, and then roll out Picture Quote #1

Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn’t last Picture Quote #1

The greatest miracle is the miracle of wakefulness, to awaken from the dream of life and to see infinity everywhere, even in the finite, in the simple doings of life Picture Quote #1

From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being Picture Quote #1

The first rule of economics is that there is an infinite number of desires chasing a finite number of goods, services and resources. The first rule of politics is to ignore the first rule of economics Picture Quote #1

On your journey, remember there is no end. That is true knowledge. There is no final knowledge. There is no final enlightenment, that is a very finite, human way of seeing things Picture Quote #1

Never be satisfied with a first draft. In fact, never be satisfied with your own stuff at all, until you’re certain it’s as good as your finite powers can enable it to be Picture Quote #1

It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite Picture Quote #1

To meditate with humility, consider existence. It is infinite. You are finite. You are a finite portion of infinite existence. Let this be your meditation Picture Quote #1

Practicing zazen and mindfulness constantly and correctly, over a period of time, can bring strength and clarity to your finite mind and eventually give you access to your infinite mind Picture Quote #1

As long as you wish to separate yourself from the immortal consciousness, you will suffer. You will experience the pain of the separation, the abridgment of infinite mind in finite form Picture Quote #1

Reincarnation is a process in which a finite being will go through a series of transmutations and will perceive different things. There will be a continuity of perception Picture Quote #1

Death is simply a change in perception. It is not an end to perception as a finite being Picture Quote #1

The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite Picture Quote #1

Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth on a planet with finite resources is either a madman or an economist Picture Quote #1

Our supplies of natural resources are not finite in any economic sense. Nor does past experience give reason to expect natural resources to become more scarce. Rather, if history is any guide, natural resources will progressively become less costly, hence less scarce, and will constitute a smaller proportion of our expenses in future years Picture Quote #1

Enlightenment is not a finite state. It’s not something that you just do and it’s done. It goes on forever Picture Quote #1

The secret of love is acceptance, acceptance of our finite self, of our life, our birth... our death Picture Quote #1

One of the most jolting days of adulthood comes the first time you run out of toilet paper. Toilet paper, up until this point, always just existed. And now it’s a finite resource, constantly in danger of extinction, that must be carefully tracked and monitored, like pandas? Picture Quote #1

Well, since paradoxes are at hand, let us see how it might be demonstrated that in a finite continuous extension it is not impossible for infinitely many voids to be found Picture Quote #1

All men desire their own perfect adjustment, but they desire it, being finite men, on their own terms Picture Quote #1

Time matters because we are finite, because time is the medium in which we live our lives Picture Quote #1

God is a wider consciousness than we are, a pure intelligence, spiritual life and actuality. He is neither one nor many, neither man nor spirit. Such predicates belong only to finite beings Picture Quote #1

More simply said, the finite does not add to the infinite but merely expresses the power of the infinite in a limited mode Picture Quote #1
