Aristotle. Quotes
Now It Is Impossible That The Infinite Should Be A Thing Which Is Itself Infinite, Separable From Sensible Objects. If The Infinite Is Neither A Magnitude Nor An Aggregate, But Is Itself A Substance And Not An Attribute, It Will Be Indivisible; For The Divisible Must Be Either A Magnitude Or An Aggregate. But If Indivisible, Then Not Infinite, Except In The Sense (1) In Which The Voice Is 'invisible'. But This Is Not The Sense In Which It Is Used By Those Who Say That The Infinite Exists, Nor That In Which We Are Investigating It, Namely As (2) 'that Which Cannot Be Gone Through'. But If The Infinite Exists As An Attribute, It Would Not Be, Qua Infinite An Element In Substances, Any More Than The Invisible Would Be An Element Of Speech, Though The Voice Is Invisible.
