“Just when I seemed about to learn!Where is the thread now? Off again!The old trick! Only I discern - Infinite passion, and the painOf finite hearts that yearn.”

“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.”

“I get into a tearing passion about something I know very little about, and when I learn more my passion ebbs away.”

“I saw my suffering for what it was, finite and insignificant, and I was still. My suffering did not fit anywhere, I realized. And I could accept this." Suffering is Finite, but I feel infinite.”

“Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite.”

“The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, specific, and articulate will be our knowledge of what we do not know; our knowledge of our ignorance. For this indeed, is the main source of our ignorance - the fact that our knowledge can be only finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite.”
