Book cover for Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe – A Revolutionary History from Ancient Greece to Modern Technology
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.
“I think Willim Shakespeare was the wisest human being I ever heard of. To be perfectly frank though, that's not saying much. We are impossibly conceited animals, and actually dumb as heck. Ask any teacher. You don't even have to ask a teacher. Ask anybody. Dogs and cats are smarter than we are.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.”
Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

John Steinbeck
“It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”
John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

Hakim Bey
“The Law waits for you to stumble on a mode of being, a soul different from the FDA-approved purple-stamped standard dead meat — & as soon as you begin to act in harmony with nature the Law garottes & strangles you — so don’t play the blessed liberal middleclass martyr — accept the fact that you’re a criminal & be prepared to act like one.”
Hakim Bey, TAZ: The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism

Philip K. Dick
“There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you. Another sentence exists, another series of words, that could heal you. If you're lucky you will get the second, but you can be certain of getting the first.”
Philip K. Dick, VALIS
