“We should, to begin with, think that God leads a very interesting life, and that he is full of joy. Undoubtedly he is the most joyous being in the universe. The abundance of his love and generosity is inseparable from his infinite joy. All of the good and beautiful things from which we occasionally drink tiny droplets of soul-exhilarating joy, God continuously experiences in all their breadth and depth and richness.” ThinkingShouldSoulBeautifulJoyUniverseInterestingDrinkInfiniteDepthTinyGenerosityAbundanceBeautiful ThingsHis LoveVery InterestingRichnessJoyousInseparableExhilaratingBreadthInteresting LifeDropletsJoy God Author:Dallas Willard
“The infinite, absolute character of Virtue has passed into a finite, conditional one; it is no longer a worship of the Beautiful and Good; but a calculation of the Profitable.” CharacterBeautifulVirtueWorshipAbsolutesInfiniteFiniteProfitableCalculationsConditional Book:The Selected Works of Thomas Carlyle Source: The Selected Works of Thomas Carlyle
“Taste, when once obtained, may be said to be no acquiring faculty, and must remain stationary; but knowledge is of perpetual growth and has infinite demands. Taste, like an artificial canal, winds through a beautiful country, but its borders are confined and its term is limited. Knowledge navigates the ocean, and is perpetually on voyages of discovery.” MaySaidCountryBeautifulGrowthTermWindTasteDemandOceanDiscoveryInfiniteBordersFacultyArtificialPerpetualConfinedVoyagesNavigateCanalsStationaryBeautiful CountryVoyages Of DiscoveryLimited Knowledge Book:Curiosities of literature Source: Curiosities of literature
“Consciousness-Based Education is just plugging us all into the beautiful, eternal field within, and then watching things get better, which is what happens. It's a field of infinite, unbounded peace within every human being, and when you experience it, you enliven that peace.” HumansHappensBeautifulHuman BeingsConsciousnessFieldsEternalInfiniteGet BetterPeace Within Author:David Lynch
“Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages... a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn't be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.” IfsWayLongBigsAgeBeautifulCertainPossibilityObjectsOffersConceptsInfiniteUglyBoringContraryRangeNosesElephantsUnpredictableFiniteUglinessEaglesTrunksBeaksBeautiful Objects Author:Umberto Eco
“You can keep counting forever. The answer is infinity. But, quite frankly, I don't think I ever liked it. I always found something repulsive about it. I prefer finite mathematics much more than infinite mathematics. I think that it is much more natural, much more appealing and the theory is much more beautiful. It is very concrete. It is something that you can touch and something you can feel and something to relate to. Infinity mathematics, to me, is something that is meaningless, because it is abstract nonsense.” ThinkingFeelsBeautifulScienceFoundNaturalAnswersForeverTheoryInfiniteMathematicsRelateAbstractNonsenseInfinityMeaninglessConcreteFiniteCounting Author:Doron Zeilberger
“I think that there is an infinite creative force that generates all consciousness and all matter and we are all connected and if you align yourself with this infinite creative force then you can be positive and you can be beautiful, I don't think its a person or god, I don't believe in any particular doctrine or dogma, only that humanity is connected.” IfsThinkingBelievePersonsMatterBeautifulHumanityForceConsciousnessCreativeParticularInfiniteDon't BelieveConnectedDoctrineDogmaBeing Positive Author:Russell Brand
“If one believes philosophers, then what we call religion is only a deliberately popularized or an instinctively artless philosophy. Poets seem to consider religion rather as a variation of poetry which by misjudging its proper beautiful game takes itself too seriously and one-sidedly. Philosophy, however, admits and recognizes that it can begin and complete itself only with religion. Poetry seeks only to strive for the infinite and despises worldly utility and culture, which are the true antitheses of religion. Eternal peace among artists is thus not far away.” IfsBelievePhilosophySeemsBeautifulPoetryArtistReligionCultureGamesPoetEternalPhilosophicalInfiniteStrivePhilosopherDespiseFar AwayWorldlyUtilityVariationAntithesisEternal Peace Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
“That which reminds us of nature and thus stimulates a feeling for the infinite abundance of life is beautiful.
