Book cover for Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe
the Infinity Principle. It will guide us on our journey just as it guided the development of calculus itself, conceptually as well as historically. I’m tempted to state it right now, but at this point it would sound like mumbo jumbo.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Our children, full-grown now, can never forgive us for reproducing. What a mess.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

Seneca
“It's not years nor days, but the mind, that determines that we've lived enough.”
Seneca, How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life

William Faulkner
“(and your grandfather said, 'Suffer little children to come unto Me': and what did He mean by that? how, if He meant that little children should need to be suffered to approach Him, what sort of earth had He created; that if they had to suffer in order to approach Him, what sort of Heaven did He have?)”
William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom!

Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz
“Place no dependence on your own genius, even if you possess it. If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but moderate talents, industry will supply their deficiency--nothing is denied to well directed labor; nothing is obtained without it.”
Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, Dr. Mütter's Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine

James Gleick
“If you could take one ride in a time machine, which way would you go? The future or the past? Sally forth or turn back?...Do you prefer the costumed pageant of history or the techno-marvels to come? It seems there are two kinds of people. Both camps have their optimists as well as their pessimists. Disease is a worry. Time traveling while black or female poses special hazards. Then again, some people see ways to make money at lotteries, stock markets, and racetracks. Some just want to relive past loves. Many back travelers are driven by regret—mistakes made, opportunities lost.”
James Gleick, Time Travel: A History
