Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or loops:
“And universal Nature, through her vast
And crowded whole, an infinite paroquet,
Repeats one note.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
