Sharp Edge

Famous quotes containing the words sharp and/or edge:

    ‘A parted ev’n just between twelve and one, ev’n at the
    turning o’ the tide; for after I saw him fumble with the
    sheets, and play with flowers, and smile upon his finger’s
    end, I knew there was but one way; for his nose was as sharp as
    pen, and ‘a babbled of green fields.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Moreover, the universe as a whole is infinite, for whatever is limited has an outermost edge to limit it, and such an edge is defined by something beyond. Since the universe has no edge, it has no limit; and since it lacks a limit, it is infinite and unbounded. Moreover, the universe is infinite both in the number of its atoms and in the extent of its void.
    Epicurus (c. 341–271 B.C.)
