“The perfection of an art consists in the employment of a comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose within its scope, but concealed from the eye of the spectator; and in the production of effects that seem to flow forth spontaneously, as though uncontrolled by their influence, and which are equally excellent, whether regarded individually, or in reference to the proposed result.” ArtSeemsEyeLawPurposeResultsInfluenceEffectsFlowPerfectionProductionsEmploymentExcellentScopeSpectatorsComprehensiveConcealedPurpose Of Art Book:The Book of Nature: From the Last London Ed., to which is Now Prefixed, a Sketch of the Author's Life Source: The Book of Nature: From the Last London Ed., to which is Now Prefixed, a Sketch of the Author's Life
“To be a super-trader, you'll need an edge to overcome the laws of probability and the uncertainty of the marketplace. That edge comes from information flow, the ability to correct your habits in terms of the market's characteristics, and being able to take risks, cut losses, expand your information network, ferret out ideas, and take recommendations.” NeedsIdeasAbleLawTermLossAbilityCuttingRiskInformationHabitFlowOvercomingEdgesUncertaintyCharacteristicsProbabilityMarketplaceTradersRecommendationsFerretsInformation Flow Author:Ari Kiev
“Thoughts are no more than electrical surges in the brain. Sexual arousal is no more than a flow of chemicals to certain nerve endings. Sadness is no more than a bit of acid transfixed in the cerebellum. In short, the body is a machine, subject to the same laws of electricity and mechanics as an electron or clock.” BodyLawCertainBitsBrainSadnessSubjectsFlowMachinesClockNervesChemicalsElectricityMechanicAcidElectricalElectronsArousal Book:Einstein's Dreams Source: Einstein's Dreams

“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals. We look away from government for relief, because we know that force (legalized) invades the personal liberty of man, seizes upon the natural elements and intervenes between man and natural laws; from this exercise of force through governments flows nearly all the misery, poverty, crime and confusion existing in society.” ThinkingKnowsMenBelieveLooksLongSelfGovernmentLawPoliticalIndividualForceNaturalLibertyPovertyCrimeDevelopmentPeriodsExerciseElementsFlowVoteFundamentalsMiseryCampaignsConfusionReliefAnarchismAnarchistBeggingNatural LawPolitical CampaignPersonal LibertyChanges In SocietyNatural Elements Author:Lucy Parsons
“It is often said that the progression from simple to complex runs counter to the normal statistics of chance that are formalized in the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Strictly speaking, we could avoid this criticism simply by insisting that the Second Law does not apply to living systems in the environment in which we find them. For the Second Law applies only when there is no overall flow of energy into or out of a system, whereas all living systems are sustained by a net inflow of energy.” DoeSaidRunningLawEnergyChanceSimpleEnvironmentAtheismNormalFlowCriticismComplexesPositive AtheismStatisticsProgressionInsistingThermodynamics Author:Jacob Bronowski
