I've always appreciated the seemingly contradictory phrases like
"bounded but infinite".

A set which is unbounded is definitely infinite.
A set which is finite is definitely bounded.
A set which is bounded may be either finite or infinite.

Took a bit before I wrapped my head around that concept.  And then when
I found out that the Universe is bounded but infinite, it was really weird.
