“The universe consists of the continued vanishing of all sets of possibilities but one.” 

"Why, for example, should a group of simple, stable compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen struggle for billions of years to organize themselves into a professor of chemistry?
What's the motive?"
                                                                                                                         - Robert Pirsig

"The ideal of mathematics should be to erect a calculus to facilitate reasoning in connection
with every province of thought, or of external experience, in which the succession of thoughts,
or of events can be definitely ascertained and precisely stated.  So that all serious thought
which is not philosophy, or inductive reasoning, or imaginative literature, shall be mathematics
developed by means of a calculus."
                                                                                                                          - Alfred North Whitehead
