Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or series:

    ““. . . Me miserable! which way shall I fly
    Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
    Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
    And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
    Still threat’ning to devour me opens wide,
    To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
    —Sonia Taitz (20th century)
