Infinite Sets

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or sets:

“The nonchalance and dolce-far-niente air of nature and society hint at infinite periods in the progress of mankind.”

“Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things ... nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes and unprovokes: it provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him off.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
