Order And Chaos Quotes

“God is an idea. It prevents us from insanity,” he opined. “Moreover, it is satisfying to believe that this universe has an order.”
― Abhaidev, That Thing About You

“There is never a case when the root is in order and yet the branches are in order”

― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“We don't live our lives with this much order and control. To represent them in death like this is a lie. A proper cemetary should have big, gnarled trees among crumbling angel's and weathered tombstones arranged haphazardly. The grass should be littered with clover and worn down to dirt in places. Not like the manicured, rootless sod in this place.”
― Kevin A. Kuhn, Do You Realize?

“The true artist resides on the inside.
The outside is chaos, bondage and destruction.
The inside is peace, freedom, and creation.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Oneironaut’s Diary

“When we deal with cities we are dealing with life at its most complex and intense. Because this is so, there is a basic esthetic limitation on what can be done with cities: A city cannot be a work of art.”
― Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities

“Nature, independent of mind, is devoid of both order and chaos – it is beyond the dualistic battle between order and chaos. We create our own order and chaos, based on our own knacks, desires, beliefs, biases and knowledge, and then we impose that order and chaos upon the reality that we create.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mission Reality

“Life is Chaos (The Sonnet)

Best laid plans of mice and men,
Often go awry leaving no hope.
Just when you think you have control,
Life throws you off course.
All notions of order are a myth,
Only order of the universe is chaos.
Expand your sight and you'll realize,
There is order in every chaos.
A narrow mind is ever struggling,
In the tangled web of order and chaos.
A sapient mind works above the two,
For their sight is fixed on a purpose.
Focus on life, not on all its philosophy.
Embrace the chaos and act despite insecurity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Throughout history prophets and philosophers have argued that if humans stopped believing in a great cosmic plan, all law and order would vanish.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow

“He liked it when things were unpredictable, even downright chaotic at times. Order might be comfortable, but chaos provoked change, and change provided opportunities. Change was unpredictable, messy, and at times dangerous, but as far as he was concerned it was the only reliable way to move forward in life.”
― Tim Waggoner, Alien: Prototype

“As Acheron would say, sometimes you have to fail in order to succeed. Whether we want it or not, there is an order in the universe. It's hard to understand and many, many times it's hard to swallow, but it's there and our choices are our own. Failure is part of life and no one can succeed every time they try something. -Alexion”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Sins of the Night

“Whence the special status of such extreme phenomena - and of catastrophe in general, understood as an anomalous turn of events. The secret order of catastrophe resides in the affinity between all these processes, as in their homology with the system as a whole. Order within disorder: all extreme phenomena are consistent both with respect to each other and with respect to the whole that they constitute. This means that it is useless to appeal to some supposed rationality of the system against that system's outgrowths. The vanity of seeking to abolish these extreme phenomena is absolute. Moreover, they are destined to become more extreme still as our systems grow more sophisticated. And this is in fact a good thing - for they are the leading edge of therapy here. In these transparent, homeostatic or homeofluid systems there is no longer any such thing as a strategy of Good against Evil, there is only the pitting of Evil against Evil - a strategy of last resort. Indeed, we really have no choice in the matter: we simply watch as the lesser evil - homeopathic virulence - deploys its forces. AIDS, crack and computer viruses are merely outcrop pings of the catastrophe; nine-tenths of it remain buried in the virtual.”
― Jean Baudrillard, The Transparency of Evil: Essays in Extreme Phenomena

“Where does the order came from? Well, that's easy! From the abscence of chaos. Where does the chaos came from? Well, that's easy! From the abscence of order.”
― Tiago Meurer

“Where does the order came from? Well, that's easy! From the abscence of chaos. Where does the chaos came from? Well, that's easy! From the abscence of order. The only mistery is where and when they've meet one another.”
― Tiago Meurer

“Neither law nor party loyalty will elevate the society. All my hope lies upon civilian responsibility.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“All'inizio ho creduto che avrei scritto in fretta. In realtà passo molto tempo a interrogarmi sull'ordine delle cose da dire, la scelta e la disposizione delle parole, come se esistesse un ordine ideale, l'unico capace di restituire una verità su mia madre – ma non so in cosa consista –, e nel momento in cui scrivo non conta nient'altro per me che la scoperta di quell'ordine.”
― Annie Ernaux, A Woman's Story

“Well, networks spontaneously emerge all the time. In economics, it's referred to as 'spontaneous order,'" Benjamin contributed.
"And doesn't spontaneous order often arise when a so-called 'higher order' has crumbled?" John questioned.
"Yes, that's why some also refer to it as an 'informal order.' It's an order that arises out of the necessity to establish a semblance of a less chaotic system, I suppose.”
― Ryan Gelpke, We Tragic Few

“Humanity appears trapped in an unceasing struggle between disorder and order, perpetually seeking a delicate balance between these two extremes, hoping to survive yet another day”
― Ryan Gelpke, We Tragic Few

“Order and chaos are the yang and yin of the famous Taoist symbol: two serpents, head to tail. Order is the white, masculine serpent; Chaos, its black, feminine counterpart. The black dot in the white—and the white in the black—indicate the possibility of transformation: just when things seem secure, the unknown can loom, unexpectedly and large. Conversely, just when everything seems lost, new order can emerge from catastrophe and chaos. For the Taoists, meaning is to be found on the border between the ever-entwined pair. To walk that border is to stay on the path of life, the divine Way.”
― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“Chaos eventually coagulates into some form of order, which people overwork in their hands like clay until it devolves back into utter unmanageable chaos, and somehow they still think they’ve got it under control.”
― Kaylin R. Boyd, The Netherworlds: Curse of Fate

“Elegance in Disorder"

Chaos is easy. Like wind sifting through forgotten streets, filling corners with susurrations of nothing.

Order is born of struggle, but chaos—chaos is effortless.
It seeps into the spaces we leave unattended, flourishing in the shadows cast by certainty.

A river that does not flow yet still pulls you under, not in torrents, but in the slow, invisible surrender to the current of what is left undone.

It asks for no permission, makes no demands. It is what remains when we turn away from choice, when we let go of the fragile thing called purpose.”
― Monika Ajay Kaul

“All order gets reordered in oneness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

Orde is angst voor wanorde. Dus angst.”
