Quote by Terry Pratchett

He'd heard that writers spent all day in their dressing gowns drinking champagne. This is, of course, absolutely true.

He'd heard that writers spent all day in their dressing gown

Summary

This quote humorously implies that the perception of writers being idle and indulgent is indeed accurate. The mention of writers wearing dressing gowns and drinking champagne portrays them luxuriating in a leisurely lifestyle. It plays on the stereotype of writers living glamorous lives, detached from the realities of work and responsibility. However, it is important to note that this quote is meant to be facetious and should not be taken as a serious representation of the writing profession.

The simplest single-celled organism oscillates to a number of different frequencies, at the atomic, molecular, sub-cellular, and cellular levels. Microscopic movies of these organisms are striking for the ceaseless, rhythmic pulsation that is revealed. In an organism as complex as a human being, the frequencies of oscillation and the interactions between those frequencies are multitudinous.

In the deeps are the violence and terror of which psychology has warned us. But if you ride these monsters deeper down, if you drop with them farther over the world's rim, you find what our sciences cannot locate or name, the substrate, the ocean or matrix or ether which buoys the rest, which gives goodness its power for good, and evil its power for evil, the unified field: our complex and inexplicable caring for each other, and for our life together here. This is given. It is not learned.
