“Het resultaat van de evolutionaire geschiedenis is een aanpassing ter wille van het overleven, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat alles in een organisme ook is, zelfs niet het buitengewone genoegen dat het orgasme verschaft.”
“Whereas photons move *within* space, the quanta of space are the grains that weave the net that *is itself* space.”
“La philosophie n’aime pas l’amour, qui lui rappelle son origine et sa dignité, son impuissance et leur divorce. Elle le passe donc sous silence, quand elle ne le hait pas franchement.”
Rovelli: “The world is woven by the relations between times. There is no universal time. Temporality is the network formed by the many local times and the possibility of exhanging signals.”
“Naast honger, dorst en zin in seks is het onverstoorbare ritme van sport op televisie hetgeen waar je als mens het meest op kan rekenen: wat er ook gebeurt, dat komt iedere dag terug.”

“Our thoughts are part sky, Woolf says. This statement sounds fanciful, but oxygen fuels our bodies and neurons. The sky is also part of the deep evolutionary and material history of our brain. If we took away the sky, there would be no brain.”
“In response to the planetary crisis, we have to give up the rigid view of chemical elements as abstract, discrete and inert molecular entitites and consider them as the furniture of the world that makes the earth hospitable for billions of living things.”
