Order Phase Transitions

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or phase:

    A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.
    George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
