Quote by Carl Sagan

“Frank Sinatra Lyrics "Witchcraft" Those fingers in my hair That sly come-hither stare That strips my conscience bare It's witchcraft And I've got no defense for it The heat is too intense for it What good would common sense for it do? 'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft And although I know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in me My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me "Proceed with what you're leadin' me to" It's such an ancient pitch But one I wouldn't switch 'cause there's no nicer witch than you [instrumental] 'cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft And although I know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in me My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me "Proceed with what you're leadin' me to" It's such an ancient pitch But one I'd never switch 'cause there's no nicer witch than you”

“The "CERN equation" you're referring to is the Lagrangian of the Standard Model of particle physics. It's a compact, four-line equation that summarizes how fundamental particles and forces interact in the universe. Here's a breakdown of what it represents: First line: Describes the forces in the universe: electricity, magnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Second line: Shows how these forces act on the fundamental particles of matter, like quarks and leptons. Last two lines: Describe the Higgs boson and the mechanism by which particles acquire mass. Quantum Diaries The Lagrangian is a tool that physicists use to describe and analyze systems in physics. It's often seen on CERN t-shirts and other merchandise, making it a popular symbol of the lab's work.”

“Somehow, one of the women found time to knit a jacket for Shadow which, combined with the other gifts, left me unaccountable flustered---given my companion's size, it would have taken her hours. Bambleby and I entertained ourselves at the cottage by coaxing a recalcitrant Shadow into his new raiment, which was patterned with flowers and equipped with a jaunty hood. The dog hung his head in abject embarrassment until his tormentors deigned to relieve him of this woolen pillory, and he spent the next hour pointedly ignoring me.”

“The good news is that Christ frees us from the need to obnoxiously focus on our goodness, our commitment, and our correctness. Religious has made us obsessive almost beyond endurance. Jesus invited us to a dance...and we've turned in into a march of soldiers, always checking to see if we're doing it right and are in step and in line with the other soldiers. We know a dance would be more fun, but we believe we must go through hell to get to heaven, so we keep marching.”

“She was more beautiful than anything he’d ever seen, Her hair the shade of coffee beans, A hoodie sheltered her in a sheet of red, That slowly seeped and gently bled And when she laughed She crept her way into his heart. Broken pieces, tied together, A sea of stars that were forever A mystery meant to be solved And in a flash, his world evolved A fearless bird soaring through a bright blue sky Yet still as sweet as strawberry pie Secrets bottled, stolen glances Cloud-filled skies and second chances And as time swept past in a quick blur The lost boy fell in love with her.”
