Limits

Famous quotes containing the word limits:

“Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.—Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“Whatever appeals to the imagination, by transcending the ordinary limits of human ability, wonderfully encourages and liberates us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
