“Inventions were not like your children. Your children were all your flaws shown to you in a way that made you love them: your worst made good. Inventions were your best attempt at beautiful thought.

― Erika Swyler, Light from Other Stars

― James Gleick, Chaos: Making a New Science

“I want a good story, with a beginning, middle and end.”
― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

“chaos is a science of process rather than state, of becoming rather than being.”
