"Entropy is disorder. Randomness. Chaos. And it always increases. Suppose you drop a vase. It will smash into a hundred pieces of glass. It moves from state of order, to disorder. But if you drop a hundred shards of glass, they never turn into a vase. There's a reason for that. It's because things in the universe move to a greater state of disorder. Chaos increases over time."

"A marriage takes work. You have to constantly put energy into it to keep it from falling apart. Going nowhere takes energy. Stability isn't what you get when you do nothing. It's what you can hope to achieve when you work hard."

"Keeping things stable takes energy. I guess it's a little counter-intuitive, since you think of Newton's first law: a body at rest will stay at rest. But the reality is different. Think about an old water tank you find in the woods. It's sitting there, doing nothing, and yet it's slowly falling apart. Eventually the rust eats away at it beyond a certain threshold, and it collapses under its own weight."
