"Scientists say every action initiates an equal and opposite reaction. I say that's just the start.

That every line of latitude requires several stripes of longitude to obtain meaning. That every universe is part of a bigger heaven, a heaven of rhythm and geometry, where a heartbeat is the apex of a triangle."
