What Did You Do In The Lockdown, Daddy?

Normally when I've taken a year between posts all I do is tuck my tail between my legs and make empty promises that it won't happen again. But this year's been a bit special, hasn't it? I hope any and all of you who are kind enough to occasionally waste your time by checking in on my nonsense here have managed to survive the Covid pandemic with your health and your sanity intact.

Quotes by Peter Atkins  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We are children of chaos, and the deep structure of change is decay. At root, there is only corruption, and the unstemmable tide of chaos. Gone is purpose; all that is left is direction. This is the bleakness we have to accept as we peer deeply and dispassionately into the heart of the Universe.”
Peter Atkins

“The emergence of consciousness, like the unfolding of a leaf, relies upon restraint.”
Peter Atkins

“All change...arises from an underlying collapse into chaos...what may appear to us to be motive and purpose is in fact ultimately motiveless, purposeless decay.”
Peter Atkins

“None of these quotes are by me. Except this one.

(All the others are by noted chemist and atheist Peter Atkins - or, as I like to call him, The Other Peter Atkins. I don't know how they got here. I'd say it was evidence of God's sense of humor, but I don't want to offend The Other Peter Atkins.)”
