Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or loops:
“It is hard to be finite upon an infinite subject, and all subjects are infinite.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
