Equilibrium Quotes

The hierarchy of relations, from the molecular structure of carbon to the equilibrium of the species and ecological whole, will perhaps be the leading idea of the future Picture Quote #1

A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales Picture Quote #1

Democracy is the only system capable of reflecting the humanist premise of equilibrium or balance. The key to its secret is the involvement of the citizen Picture Quote #1

We need to abandon the economist’s notion of the economy as a machine, with its attendant concept of equilibrium. A more helpful way of thinking about the economy is to imagine it as a living organism Picture Quote #1

The equilibrium between supply and demand is achieved only through a reaction against the upsetting of the equilibrium Picture Quote #1

Justice is the very last thing of all wherewith the universe concerns itself. It is equilibrium that absorbs its attention Picture Quote #1

... he makes me feel out of control and out of my head. He is exhilarating and terrifying. I see and feel him everywhere, and I’m always grasping for equilibrium even when he’s not there... I feel like I’m always falling in love, falling and falling and falling Picture Quote #1

Boredom is your window on the properties of time that one tends to ignore to the likely peril of one’s mental equilibrium. It is your window on time’s infinity. Once this window opens, don’t try to shut it; on the contrary, throw it wide open Picture Quote #1

Ecology, like genetics, is not about equilibrium states. It is about change, change and change. Nothing stays the same forever Picture Quote #1

The search for an equilibrium is essential for the artist, to be as aware of inner space as he is of outer space Picture Quote #1

The real guarantee of freedom is an equilibrium of social forces in conflict, not the triumph of any one force Picture Quote #1

Balance suggests a perfect equilibrium. There is no such thing. That is a false expectation... There are going to be priorities and dimensions of your life, how you integrate them is how you find true happiness Picture Quote #1

When systems come to be far from points of equilibrium, they reach bifurcation points, wherein multiple, as opposed to unique, solutions, to instability become possible Picture Quote #1

The determination of the average man is not merely a matter of speculative curiosity; it may be of the most important service to the science of man and the social system. It ought necessarily to precede every other inquiry into social physics, since it is, as it were, the basis. The average man, indeed, is in a nation what the centre of gravity is in a body; it is by having that central point in view that we arrive at the apprehension of all the phenomena of equilibrium and motion Picture Quote #1

My photographs are a picture of the chaos in the world, and of my relationship to that chaos. My prints show the world’s constant upsetting of man’s equilibrium, and his eternal battle to reestablish it Picture Quote #1

If a man knows precisely what he can do to you or what epithet he can hurl against you in order to make you lose your temper, your equilibrium, then he can always keep you under subjection Picture Quote #1

Everything lives by movement, everything is maintained by equilibrium, and harmony results from the analogy of contraries; this law is the form of forms Picture Quote #1

Will highly comprehensible code, by virtue of being easy to modify, inevitably be supplanted by increasingly less elegant code until some equilibrium is achieved between comprehensibility and fragility? Perhaps simple on the outside/fragile on the inside can be an effective survival strategy for evolving artifacts Picture Quote #1

The circle is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and the eccentric in a single form and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms, it points most clearly to the fourth dimension Picture Quote #1

Contentment is the equilibrium between the enjoyment of life now and the anticipation of what is to come Picture Quote #1

Apart from the hostile influence of man, the organic and the inorganic world are... bound together by such mutual relations and adaptations s secure, if not the absolute permanence and equilibrium of both... at least a very slow and gradual succession of changes in those conditions. But man is everywhere a disturbing agent. Wherever he plants his foot, the harmonies of nature are turned to discords Picture Quote #1

What I want is an art of equilibrium, of purity and tranquility, free from unsettling or disturbing subjects, so that all those who work with their brains, and this includes business men as well as artists and writers, will look on it as something soothing, a kind of cerebral sedative as relaxing in its way as a comfortable armchair Picture Quote #1

I put forward a pretty general theory that financial markets are intrinsically unstable. That we really have a false picture when we think about markets tending towards equilibrium Picture Quote #1

The end of the world was supposed to be gradual. There was supposed to be warning. A long, slow slide. What we got was punctuated equilibrium: a stately wobbling, then a sudden tipping point. There was plenty of warning, I suppose. We just weren’t paying attention Picture Quote #1

Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all Picture Quote #1

It has become very difficult for anyone to argue that observed global warming is natural variability. We have good reason for being able to say that the world will be warmer by about a quarter of a degree in the next decade. It’s the same reason we had 10 years ago when we said that the 1990s would be warmer than the 1980s: The planet is out of equilibrium Picture Quote #1

The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium Picture Quote #1

It is always the psychic and social grounds, brought into play by each medium or technology, that readjust the balance of the hemispheres and of human sensibilities into equilibrium with those grounds Picture Quote #1

The point of equilibrium will be known by the criterion that an infinitely small amount of commodity exchanged in addition, at the same rate, will bring neither gain nor loss of utility Picture Quote #1
