James Gleick
“It sometimes seems as if curbing entropy is our quixotic purpose in this universe.”
James Gleick, The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood

Thich Nhat Hanh
“For my part, I promise you that I will do my best to recognize and water the positive seeds in you. You have very positive seeds in you, and I appreciate them a lot. Every time these seeds manifest, I am very happy, because at such times you are wonderful. You are so full of love and joy that I vow to water these seeds in you every day. I see as well that there are seeds of suffering in you, and I will make every effort not to water these. In that way I will not make you suffer, and I will not make myself suffer, either.” That is the practice.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment

Richard Powers
“The fact is, their obsessions interlock. Each has half of a secret message. What else can he do but try to fit the halves together? And if they spin out, wake from the dream with nothing, what has he sacrificed but solitary waiting? Nick sits in his ancestors’ empty bedroom after midnight, reading by the lantern’s low glow.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Thich Nhat Hanh
“I have arrived, I am home In the here, in the now I am solid, I am free In the ultimate I dwell”
Thích Nhất Hạnh, Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm

Richard Powers
“There are a hundred thousand species of love, separately invented, each more ingenious than the last, and every one of them keeps making things.”
