Our subjective sense of the direction of time, the psychological arrow of time, is therefore determined within our brain by the thermodynamic arrow of time. Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that!

in a famous paper in 1905, a hitherto unknown clerk in the Swiss patent office, Albert Einstein, pointed out that the whole idea of an ether was unnecessary, providing one was willing to abandon the idea of absolute time.

We got through all of Genesis and part of Exodus before I left. One of the main things I was taught from this was not to begin a sentence with And . I pointed out that most sentences in the Bible began with And , but I was told that English had changed since the time of King James. In that case, I argued, why make us read the Bible? But it was in vain. Robert Graves was very keen on the symbolism and mysticism in the Bible at that time [Childhood].

Revolutions usually begin as replacements for older certainties, and not as pristine discoveries in uncharted terrain.

This is a changing world. It changes from day to day, year to year, and from age to age. Rivers deepen their gorges as they carry more land to the sea. Mountains rise, only to be leveled gradually by winds and rain. Continents rise and sink into the sea. Such are the gradual changes of the physical earth as days add into years and years combine to become ages.

God give me patience, to reconcile with what I am not able to changeGive me strength to change what I canAnd give me wisdom to distinguish one from another.

Time is your acquaintance. Life is your friend. Death is your opponent. Eternity is your companion.

Life is short, death is long, days are narrow, and years are wide.

In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may not have that chance again.

You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars.

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.

Enjoy every minute you have with those you love, my dear, for no one can take joy that is past away from you. It will be there in your heart to live on when the dark days come.
