Order Phase Transition

Famous quotes containing the words order, phase and/or transition:

    It seems only yesterday that we saw
    The movie with the cows in it
    And turned to one at your side, who burped
    As morning saw a new garnet-and-pea-green order propose
    Itself out of the endless bathos, like science-fiction lumps.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I had let preadolescence creep up on me without paying much attention—and I seriously underestimated this insidious phase of child development. You hear about it, but you’re not a true believer until it jumps out at you in the shape of your own, until recently quite companionable child.
    Susan Ferraro (20th century)

    The god or hero of the sculptor is always represented in a transition from that which is representable to the senses, to that which is not.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
