Notable Quotes

 * The notion of infinity is our greatest friend; it is also the greatest enemy of our peace of mind ... taught us to believe that we had at last thoroughly tamed and domesticated this unruly element. Such however is not the case; it has broken loose again.  and  have set out to tame it once more. For how long? We wonder. (1928)
