Infinite Case

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or case:

    For granting we have sinned, and that the offence
    Of man is made against Omnipotence,
    Some price that bears proportion must be paid,
    And infinite with infinite be weighed.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)
