Why is it that you physicists always require so much expensive equipment? Now the
Department of Mathematics requires nothing but money for paper, pencils, and erasers...and the
Department of Philosophy is better still. It doesn't even ask for erasers

There is no beginning of the infinite, for in that case it would have an end.
But it is
without beginning and indestructible, as being a sort of first principle; for it is necessary that
whatever comes into existence should have an end, and there is a conclusion of all destruction.
Wherefore as we say, there is no first principle of this [i.e. the infinite], but it itself seems
to be the first principle of all other things and to surround all and to direct all, as they say
who think that there are no other causes besides the infinite (such as mind, or friendship), but
that it itself is divine; for it is immortal and indestructible, as Anaximandros and most of the
physicists say.
