• Morality—like velocity—is relative. The determination of it depends on what the objects around you are doing. All one can do is measure one's position in relation to them; never can one measure one's velocity or morality in terms of absolutes.

  David Gerrold

  Determination, Morality, Relation

• El siguiente pasaje es uno de los citados por el propio Copérnico en su prefacio a De Revolutionibus: "El siracusano Hicetas, como afirma Teofrasto, sostiene la opinión de que el cielo, el sol, la luna, las estrellas y, en resumen, todas las cosas de lo alto están inmóviles, y que nada en el mundo está en movimiento excepto la tierra, que al girar y retorcerse alrededor de su eje con extrema velocidad produce todos los mismos resultados que se producirían si la tierra estuviera inmóvil y el cielo en movimiento. . . ."

• Why let your fury lay deep inside you, sullenly boiling your blood into silent steam and griding your bones to dust? I it not better to thrust it out with great velocity from every pore, with your every action? Let your actions speak your legend. The physical is the manifestation of the spirit. Let your spirit be teeming with fury. Let your strength be unusual and controlled. The average is the borderline that keeps mere men in their place. Those who step over the line are heroes by the very act. Go.

  Henry Rollins

• Madness is not what it seems. Time stops. All my life I've been obsessed with time, its motion and velocity, the way it works you over, the way it rushes you onward, a pebble turning in a brook. I've always been obsessed with where I'd go, and what I'd do, and how I would live. I've always harbored a desperate hope that I would make something of myself. Not then. Time stopped seeming so much like the thing that would transform me into something worthwhile and began to be inseparable from death. I spent my time merely waiting.

• Technology to me does two things: it increases the velocity of communication and increases the number of people who can participate. That's it. That's really all technology for our entire history has ever done.

• Acid is not for every brain .... Only the healthy, happy, wholesome, handsome, hopeful, humorous, high-velocity should seek these experiences. This elitism is totally self-determined. Unless you are self-confident, self-directed, self-selected, please abstain.

• Si el genio de la invención revelara mañana el secreto de la inmortalidad, de la belleza y de la juventud eternas, que toda la humanidad anhela, los mismos agentes inexorables que impiden que una masa cambie súbitamente de velocidad resistirían igualmente a la fuerza de los nuevos conocimientos hasta que el tiempo modificara gradualmente el pensamiento humano.

• Mi sistema de navegación es desplegar velas, hacerlo rápido, sin pensar en la energía o la velocidad, echarse hacia atrás, dejar que el barco vaya a la deriva.

• De la teoría especial de la relatividad se deducía que la masa y la energía no son más que diferentes manifestaciones de la misma cosa, una concepción un tanto desconocida para la mente media. Además, la ecuación E = mc², en la que la energía es igual a la masa multiplicada por el cuadrado de la velocidad de la luz, demostraba que cantidades muy pequeñas de masa pueden convertirse en una cantidad muy grande de energía y viceversa.

• Pasaron zumbando entre los árboles oscuros, como las plumas serían barridas ante un huracán. Casas, puertas, iglesias, pajares, objetos de todo tipo, pasaron disparados, con una velocidad y un ruido como de aguas rugientes que se desatan de repente. El ruido de la persecución seguía aumentando, y mi tío oía a la joven gritar salvajemente: "¡Más deprisa! Más rápido!"

• As the rays of the sun, notwithstanding their velocity, injure not the eye, by reason of their minuteness, so the attacks of envy, notwithstanding their number, ought not to wound our virtue by reason of their insignificance.

• The first mistake is believing that transformational initiatives can be accomplished through normal channels and means. This cannot be done because there are too many conflicting interests that are competing to impede. The second is mistaking incubation for transformation and concluding that failure to achieve escape velocity is due to lack of innovation. It never is. It is always do to lack of leadership focus and, especially, fortitude.

• The velocity of light occupies an extraordinary place in modern physics. It is lèse-majesté to make any criticism of the velocity of light. It is a sacred cow within a sacred cow, and it is just about the Absolutest Absolute in the history of human thought.
