“Name me the final number, the highest, the greatest. But that's absurd! If the number of numbers is infinite, how can there be a final number? Then how can you speak of a final revolution?

“Revolution is everywhere, in everything. It is infinite. There is no final revolution, no final number. The social revolution is only one of an infinite number of numbers: the law of revolution is not a social law, but an immeasurably greater one. It is a cosmic, universal law - like the laws of the conservation of energy and of the dissipation of energy (entropy).” InspirationalArtLawLiteratureEnergySocialNumbersGreaterRevolutionUniversalInfiniteFinalsCosmicConservationEntropyUniversal LawsSocial RevolutionDissipationEnergy Conservation Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin

A piece of iron must feel such joy as it submits to the precise, inevitable law that draws it to a magnet. Or a stone, thrown up, hesitating a moment, then plunging headlong back to earth. Or a man, after the final agony, taking a last deep breath — and dying.” MenFeelsMomentsEarthPainLastsLawJoyPiecesDyingSweetHairDrawsStonesBreathsMovedFinalsShouldersInevitableThrownIronNervesSubmitAgonyPreciseHeartbeatMagnetDeep Breath Book:We Source: We
