Finite Quotes

Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can’t remember where they leave things Picture Quote #1

The known is finite, the unknown infinite; spiritually we find ourselves on a tiny island in the middle of a boundless ocean of the inexplicable. It is our task, from generation to generation, to drain a small amount of additional land Picture Quote #1

For it is only the finite that has wrought and suffered; the infinite lies stretched in smiling repose Picture Quote #1

Our lives are composed of a finite set of moments that we choose how to spend Picture Quote #1

The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul Picture Quote #1

There is more going on beneath the surface than we think, and more going on in little, finite moments of time than we would guess Picture Quote #1

The cause being finite, the effect must be finite. If the cause is eternal the effect can be eternal, but all these causes, doing good work, and all other things, are only finite causes, and as such cannot produce infinite result Picture Quote #1

If we live out of our memory, we’re tied to the past and to that which is finite. When we live out of our imagination, we’re tied to that which is infinite Picture Quote #1

Anyone who believes in indefinite growth on a physically finite planet is either mad or an economist Picture Quote #1

All the goods of this world... are finite and limited and radically incapable of satisfying the desire that perpetually burns within us for an infinite and perfect good Picture Quote #1

The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land, to add something to the extent and the solidity of our possessions Picture Quote #1

In any finite region of space, matter can only arrange itself in a finite number of configurations, just as a deck of cards can be arranged in only finitely many different orders. If you shuffle the deck infinitely many times, the card orderings must necessarily repeat Picture Quote #1

Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy Picture Quote #1

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive Picture Quote #1

In the end mortals always expired before faeries. They were such finite creatures. Their first heartbeat and breath were but a blink from death. To add the weight of nourishing his insatiable court in a time of peace was to hasten that unconscionably Picture Quote #1

All interpretation or observation of reality is necessarily fiction. In this case, the problem is that man is a moral animal abandoned in an amoral universe and condemned to a finite existence with no other purpose than to perpetuate the natural cycle of the species. It is impossible to survive in a prolonged state of reality, at least for a human being. We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we’re awake Picture Quote #1

My theory is that there is a finite amount of intelligence in a family, and you’re supposed to gradually transfer it to your children over a period of many years. This is why your parents started to get so stupid just at the time in your life when you were getting really smart Picture Quote #1

One of the most pathetic aspects of human history is that every civilization expresses itself most pretentiously, compounds its partial and universal values most convincingly, and claims immortality for its finite existence at the very moment when the decay which leads to death has already begun Picture Quote #1

I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine Picture Quote #1

Working in the digital domain, you’re using approximations of things; the actual sound wave never enters the equation. You deal with sections of it, and you’re able to do so much more by just reducing the information to a finite amount Picture Quote #1

There’s this very vulnerable planet of ours with finite resources. Architects and designers have, I think, a fair responsibility for conserving energy and materials, and making things durable Picture Quote #1

And introduce an element of cynicism and darkness into it and just realize that we’re all vulnerable. We are humans. There is a finite end to this life and we’re all going to face it and a little silliness can help Picture Quote #1

A finite interval of time generally contains an innumerable series of feelings; and when these become welded together in association the result is a general idea Picture Quote #1

No, sir; to act from pure benevolence is not possible for finite beings. Human benevolence is mingled with vanity, interest, or some other motive Picture Quote #1

Our purity of taste is best tested by its universality, for if we can only admire this thing or that, we maybe use that our cause for liking is of a finite and false nature Picture Quote #1

There has been a tendency through the years for reason and moderation to prevail as long as things are going tolerably well or as long as our problems seem clear and finite and manageable Picture Quote #1

But as someone pointed out earlier, it is not really about fairness; it is about taking finite resources and applying them where they will have the most effect Picture Quote #1

You asked me how to get out of the finite dimensions when I feel like it. I certainly don’t use logic when I do it. Logic’s the first thing you have to get rid of Picture Quote #1

A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play Picture Quote #1

Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist Picture Quote #1
