Negative Infinity

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or infinity:

    “A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
