Flux Creep

Famous quotes containing the words flux and/or creep:

    Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
