Infinities and indivisibles transcend ordtak

en Infinities and indivisibles transcend our finite understanding, the former on account of their magnitude, the latter because of their smallness; Imagine what they are when combined.
  Galileo Galilei

en What I assert and believe to have demonstrated in this and earlier works is that following the finite there is a transfinite (which one could also call the supra-finite), that is an unbounded ascending lader of definite modes, which by their nature are not finite but infinite, but which just like the finite can be determined by well-defined and distinguishable numbers.

en Dialectics gives expression to a law which is felt in all grades of consciousness and in general experience. Everything that surrounds us may be viewed as an instance of dialectic. We are aware that everything finite, instead of being inflexible, is rather changeable and transient; and this is exactly what we mean by the dialectic of the finite, by which the finite, as implicitly other than it is, is forced to surrender its own immediate or natural being, and turn suddenly into its opposite.
  Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

en He's very intuitive about human behavior, combined with a wonderful understanding of the scientific/fantasy perception - an understanding of what we can perceive beyond what we admit to. But he doesn't depart from the human being. That means you get to use everything you are and more as an actor.

en MAGNITUDE, n. Size. Magnitude being purely relative, nothing is large and nothing small. If everything in the universe were increased in bulk one thousand diameters nothing would be any larger than it was before, but if one thing remain unchanged all the others would be larger than they had been. To an understanding familiar with the relativity of magnitude and distance the spaces and masses of the astronomer would be no more impressive than those of the microscopist. For anything we know to the contrary, the visible universe may be a small part of an atom, with its component ions, floating in the life- fluid (luminiferous ether) of some animal. Possibly the wee creatures peopling the corpuscles of our own blood are overcome with the proper emotion when contemplating the unthinkable distance from one of these to another.
  Ambrose Bierce

en The amount and magnitude of all the events for children and adults is almost too much to imagine or describe.

en Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity. Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of its causes the least to take on the magnitude.

en There is a finite number of blitzes you can come up with. But it?s sort of like music. There?s a finite number of tunes, but we probably haven?t come close to exhausting them all yet.

en O' the mass of arms, the brilliant leadership, the courage and magnitude of the ancient armies of Greece, combined to conquer the city of Troy - all that, and ten years of perseverance

en I am very impressed with what I have seen here. I could not imagine arriving in northwest Arkansas to see a facility with the magnitude, with the beauty, and with the arrangement of whatever is in there that goes beyond the imagination.

en It is wonderful to be able to imagine a building system of this magnitude and then have it work at the high efficiency that it does. Then, to be rewarded for it is a great feeling too.

en The difficulties in the study of the infinite arise because we attempt, with our finite minds, to discuss the infinite, assigning to it those properties which we give to the finite and limited; but this ... is wrong, for we cannot speak of infinite q
  Galileo Galilei

en Any kind of combined is cool. I think the super combined is pretty good because it's just a one-run slalom and it gives the speed skiers a better chance. I think the super-combined is something that will stay. For me, it's better than the normal combined with the two-run slalom.

en To imagine that an issue of this magnitude would get such an abbreviated report is unbelievably ironic given the amount of lip service that has been paid to the notion of open government and transparency lately.
