More From W. Somerset Maugham

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent; because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses. yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which are the differences of the true motions; partly from the forces, which are the causes and effects of the true motions.

It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. but at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. and perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974)

The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. he must reflect what is projected upon him. and he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. this is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. the sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.

Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. it is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.
Meaningful Running Destiny
... each of the 24 modes in the ramanujan function corresponds to a physical vibration of a string. whenever the string executes its complex motions in space-time by splitting and recombining, a large number of highly sophisticated mathematical identities must be satisfied. these are precisely the mathematical identities discovered by ramanujan.

The number of americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, it's less than 100. if you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, it's in the tens of thousands. and for us not to be able to resolve that issue has been something that is distressing.

Governments are moved by numbers, and the greater the number of people who admit that they believe, the greater the likelihood that the secret - if there is one being kept - will be revealed.

You can go through your whole life telling yourself that life is logical, life is prosaic, life is sane. above all sane. and i think it is. i've had a lot of time to think about that. and what i keep coming back to is [her] dying declaration: 'so you understand that when we increase the number of variables, the axioms themselves never change.'
