Quotes about zeno (3 Quotes)

So Zeno is most famous for his tortoise paradox. Let us imagine that you are in a race with a tortoise. The tortoise has a ten-yard head start. In the time it takes you to run that ten yards, the tortoise has moved one yard. And then in the time it takes you to make up that distance, the tortoise goes a bit farther, and so on forever. You are faster than the tortoise but you can never catch him; you can only decrease his lead.

Also the two-edged tongue of mighty Zeno, who, Say what one would, could argue it untrue

Dead, you will lie under a yard of earth, Far from daylight and all delighting. So drain the cup take your pleasures undiluted Embrace that beautiful girl, your wife And pin no hopes on 'immortal wisdom' Cleanthes and Zeno lie as deep as any.
