The infinite distance between the mind & the body is a symbol of the distance that is infinitely more, between the intellect & love, for love is divine.

Blaise Pascal
About This Quote

When you think about it, the mind is infinite. If the mind was truly infinite there would be no limit to what you could do or think. So, if the brain has one part that is an infinite part then that means the rest of the brain is finite. The body is finite.

But if the body is finite then the mind must be infinite because it connects with the body. Thus, since love can transcend both time and space, it must transcend all physical limitations as well. If love were finite, it would never cross any boundaries that are created by time or space.
