“Nature or, that which I see, inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that, until I reach the foundation, still just an external foundation, of things.” WantStillsStatesNatureEmotionalInspireFoundationPainterAbstractUrges Author:Piet Mondrian
“Nature prefers the more probable states to the less probable because in nature processes take place in the direction of greater probability. Heat goes from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature because the state of equal temperature distribution is more probable than a state of unequal temperature distribution.” StatesBodyScienceProcessNatureGreaterHigherEqualHeatProbabilityDistributionTemperature Book:Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics Delivered at Columbia University in 1909 Source: Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics Delivered at Columbia University in 1909
