Cycles Quotes

  T. S. Eliot ( 1934) "Collected Poems 1909 - 1962,  Opening Stanza from Choruses from 'The Rock'" p. 147.

The Eagle soars in the summit of Heaven,
The Hunter with his dogs pursues his circuit.

O perpetual revolution of configured stars,

O perpetual recurrence of determined seasons,

O world of spring and autumn, birth and dying!

The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment,
Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;
Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to GOD.
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries
Bring us farther from GOD and nearer to the Dust.

Willford I. King (1938) "The Causes of Economic Fluctuations" The Ronald Press, p. 244.

If the oscillations in business are dominated by forces following some mathematical formula, whether that formula be one representing a composite of sine curves or otherwise, the pattern of business must to a considerable extent be repetitive in nature and hence predictable. For any curve, or combination of curves, represented by mathematical formulae, can be reproduced indefinitely into the future.  

  g Erwin Schrödinger (1944) "What Is Life ?" Cambridge, p. 77.

The unfolding of events in the life cycle of an organism exhibits an admirable regularity and orderliness, unrivalled by anything we meet with in inanimate matter.

Globalization + Computerization = Tzunamization.     (9 October 2008 )

Evolution of form is birth and death, construction and destruction, trail and error, ..... on forever.
But  accompanied by a self-correcting mechanism / feedback.
