There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection
of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a
million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that.
There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers
than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus,
my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the
world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For

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.
Not you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun. It is an absolute rule. Therefore
when someone says that their love will never die, it means that their love is not real, for
everything that is real dies.
Rule number two: Everything lasts forever.

When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small
things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die,
or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single
moment?

The car shot forward straight into the circle of light, and suddenly Arthur had a fairly clear idea
of what infinity looked like.
It wasnt infinity in fact. Infinity itself looks flat and uninteresting. Looking up into the night sky
is looking into infinitydistance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless. The chamber
into which the aircar emerged was anything but infinite, it was just very very very big, so big that
it gave the impression of infinity far better than infinity itself.

Einsteins remark on the limitlessness of human stupidity is made even more disturbing by the
discovery that infinity comes in different sizes. Answering How much stupider? or trying to
measure the minimal idiocy bounded by an IQ test are mysteries which are themselves infinitely
less alarming than simply attempting to tally the anti-savant population. One can count all the
natural idiots (theyre the same as the even number of idiots twice as many), but the number of
real idiots continues forever: all the counting idiots (finger reckoners) plus all the fractional idiots
(geniuses on a bad day) plus all the irrational idiots (they go on and on and on) add up to a world
in which the approaching upper limit of our set of natural resources has its complement in the
inexhaustible lower limit of our set of mental ones.

Freewill.
Some have called it the greatest gift bestowed on humanity. It is our ability to control what
happens to us and exactly how it happens. We are the masters of our fate and no one can foist
their will on us unless we allow it.
Others say freewill is a crap myth. We have a preordained destiny and no matter what we do or
how hard we fight it, life will happen to us exactly as its meant to happen. We are only pawns to a
higher power that our meager human brains cant even begin to understand or comprehend.
