The more you approach infinity, the deeper you penetrate terror
Gustave FlaubertAn infinity of passion can be contained in one minute, like a crowd in a small space.
Gustave FlaubertWho was it who said, "I hold the buying of more books than one can peradventure read, as nothing less than the soul's reaching towards infinity; which is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish?" Whoever it was, I agree with him.

The Universe is very, very big.
It also loves a paradox. For example, it has some extremely strict rules.
Rule number one: Nothing lasts forever.

Rule number two: Everything lasts forever.

...it's very much like your trying to reach infinity. You know that it's there, you just don't know where-but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for.
