Entropy Quotations

I'm trying to understand cosmology, why the Big Bang had the properties it did. And it's interesting to think that connects directly to our kitchens and how we can make eggs, how we can remember one direction of time, why causes precede effects, why we are born young and grow older. It's all because of entropy increasing.

If you stop being scared, that's when entropy sets in, and you may as well go home.

Heretics are the only bitter remedy against the entropy of human thought.

Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased; thus do we refute entropy

I'm a human entropy producer.

You know, entropy is associated thermodynamically, in systems involving heat, with disorder. And in an analogous way, information is associated with disorder, which seems paradoxical. But when you think about it, a bit of information is a surprise. If you already knew what the message contained, there would be no new information in it.

So far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.

Millions for nonsense, but not one cent for entropy.

There are foods that accelerate aging and entropy, and others that renew and revitalise the body.

Harmonising your biological rhythms with the rhythms of nature minimises entropy and reverses aging.

. . . That's what my work is about, the collapse of everything, of meaning, of language, of values, of art, disorder and dislocation wherever you look, entropy drowning everything in sight . . . that's what I have to go into before all my work is misunderstood and distorted and, and turned into a cartoon . . .

A lot of author events are basically hour-long classes in entropy perched on bad seating under bright, hard lights, with - if you're lucky - bad Chardonnay and cheese on a stick waiting for you at the end of the ride.

The organism feeds on negative entropy.

Information...exhausts itself in the staging of meaning...[and leads] not at all to a surfeit of innovation but to the very contrary, to total entropy

Jacob's room is the place entropy goes to die.

Question: Who governs the governors? Answer: Entropy

Pain shared is pain lessened; joy shared is joy increased. Thus do we refute entropy.

Entropy requires no maintenance.
