Infinite Sequence

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or sequence:

    Vast chain of Being, which from God began,
    Natures aethereal, human, angel, man,
    Beast, bird, fish, insect! what no eye can see,
    No glass can reach; from Infinite to thee,
    From thee to Nothing!—
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    It isn’t that you subordinate your ideas to the force of the facts in autobiography but that you construct a sequence of stories to bind up the facts with a persuasive hypothesis that unravels your history’s meaning.
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)
