Chaos Quotes
-
Orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular. Mere orderliness leads to increasing impoverishment and finally to the lowest possible level of structure, no longer clearly distinguishable from chaos, which is the absence of order. A counterprinciple is needed, to which orderliness is secondary. It must supply what is to be ordered.

It's just sitting there being the sun, but exerting gravitational effect on everything. I think man should look at himself that way.
Robert Fitzgerald Diggs Achozen
