“They have a notion, that when people are met together, a short silence does much improve conversation: this I found to be true; for during those little intermissions of talk, new ideas would arise in their minds, which very much enlivened the discourse.”
Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels

“The two go hand in hand like a dance: chance flirts with necessity, randomness with determinism. To be sure, it is from this interchange that novelty and creativity arise in Nature, thereby yielding unique forms and novel structures.”
Eric Chaisson, Epic of Evolution: Seven Ages of the Cosmos

Voltaire
“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
Voltaire
