Singular Causality

Famous quotes containing the words singular and/or causality:

“It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a lustre obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment—but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Time, space, and causality are only metaphors of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves.”
