“Quantum particles: the dreams that stuff is made of.” —Anon
Maybe life is a long lost friend
The love you live to meet again
Maybe it’s real or just pretend
Maybe it has no separate ends
I have just got a new theory of eternity.
―Albert Einstein
Life lived in an infinite sea
As deep and dark as mystery
May exist contiguously
In synchronous epiphanies
Your theory is crazy, but it’s not crazy enough to be true.
—Niels Bohr
Energies change from form to form
From embers may rise a phoenix
Maybe late lamas are reborn
Maybe lost friends return a text
We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.
—Max Planck
Being at once early and late
To a Probability quiz
Entangled in a quantum state
Maybe all is all maybe is
And thus, by combining the uncertainty of chance with the force of mathematical proof and by the reconciliation of two apparent opposites, she derives her name from both of them and rightfully assumes the wonderful name of Mathematics of Chance!
—Blaise Pascal

Great little collection of quotes to-day, CES
May I quote you on that, Geo.? 😉
“An apt quotation is like a lamp which flings its light over the whole sentence.” Letitia Elizabeth
Throwing out an appropriate quote is one of my very favorite things to do.
As Mark Twain said, “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.’
Thanks, Geo. Coming from Sam, that’s maybe damn good advice. ; )
“How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before.” Mark Twain
