Peter Hoeg Quotes

Cantor Illustrated The Concept Of Infinity For His Students By Telling Them That There Was Once A Man Who Had A Hotel With An Infinite Number Of Rooms, And The Hotel Was Fully Occupied. Then One More Guest Arrived. So The Owner Moved The Guest In Room Number 1 Into Room Number 2; The Guest In Room Number 2 Into Number 3; The Guest In 3 Into Room 4, And So On. In That Way Room Number 1 Became Vacant For The New Guest.
What Delights Me About This Story Is That Everyone Involved, The Guests And The Owner, Accept It As Perfectly Natural To Carry Out An Infinite Number Of Operations So That One Guest Can Have Peace And Quiet In A Room Of His Own. That Is A Great Tribute To Solitude.
