"A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end."-Maynard James Keenan
Circles are often used in literature and visual arts as a symbol of eternity and unity. Why is this? Circles (and spheres) have many properties that are unique and prompt intellectuals to utilize it as an example of many difficult concepts. Some special properties of circles are that they have only one edge, they have an infinite number of diameters and lines of symmetry. They also have radial symmetry around every point. If a perfect circle is rotated any number of degrees, it will be identical to the original.
Circles can also create beautiful art in mosaics and pointillism, among other methods.
