“Much writing and research has been devoted to the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy [specifically its negative, negentropy] and the evolution of life.” — Wikipedia, Entropy and life

“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel — ‘Thou mayest’ — that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’ — it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.’” — John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Life is timshel negentropy.” — TheBigHenry, Timshel Negentropy Redux²
