Finite Community

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or community:

    For it is only the finite that has wrought and suffered; the infinite lies stretched in smiling repose.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He thought that, because the community represents millions of people, therefore it must be millions of times more important than the individual, forgetting that the community is an abstraction from the many, and is not the many themselves.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
