“Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it.”
“There are few reasons for telling the truth, but for lying the number is infinite.”
“There are an infinite number of reasons to say no. Instead, try to focus on one good reason to say yes.”
“Nature constantly begins the same things over again, years, days, hours, spaces too. And numbers run end to end, one after another. This makes something in a way infinite and eternal. It is not that any of this is really infinite and eternal, but these finite entities multiply infinitely. Thus only number, which multiplies them, seems to me to be infinite.”
“Everybody knows the thing about an infinite number of monkeys," Fenig said. "An infinite number of monkeys is put to work at an infinite number of typewriters and eventually one of them reproduces a great work of literature. In what language I don't know. But what about an infinite number of writers in an infinite number of cages? Would they make on monkey sound? One genuine chimp noise? Would they eventually swing by their toes from an infinite number of monkey bars? Would they shit monkey shit? It's academic, you say. You may be right.”
“The last function of reason is to recognize that there are an infinity of things which surpass it.”
