“The attacks of September 11, 2001, were spectacular, riveting, grim, costly and searing. The shock that they caused reverberated throughout the world. What happened in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania ended the lives of thousands of people and changed the lives of many more.

“It's an experience like no other experience I can describe, the best thing that can happen to a scientist, realizing that something that has happened in his or her mind exactly corresponds to something that happens in nature. One is surprised that a construct of one's own mind can actually be realised in the honest-to-goodness world out there. A great shock, and a great, great joy.” WorldMindI CanHappensJoyRealizingHappenedHonestGoodnessScientistBest ThingsBeing The BestShockConstructsRealisedGreat Joy Author:Leo Kadanoff

“I have a feeling a lot of artists' work got lost [because of AIDS]. Howard was fortunate because his family and friends supported him, but a chilling thing I remember was these guys at St. Vincent's [Hospital] who would call out for someone to listen to them, just for a moment.

“But my point is that 'the death of God' is not something like the Battle of Waterloo or Magna Charta. It's not a historic event of that kind. For many people it hasn't happened yet. Others - to recur to an earlier question - are still in the phase of intense shock.” PeopleKindStillsHappenedEventsBattleIntenseShockPhasesHistoricWaterloo Author:George Pattison
“So, you could often say things are terrible and that accounts for what happened, or things are really bright, and that accounts for what happened. Often, the real explanation for what happened is much more subtle and interesting and involves maybe small shocks or what a couple people did on a Wednesday morning that changed the arc of history.” PeopleRealInterestingMorningHappenedChangedCoupleTerribleAccountsExplanationShockSubtleArcsWednesdayWednesday Morning Author:Cass Sunstein
