An event is a stretch of time, and time, according to physicists, is a continuous variable-an inexorable cosmic flow, in Newton's world, or a fourth dimension in a seamless hyperspace, in Einstein's. But the human mind carves this fabric into the discrete swatches we call events. — Steven Pinker

It can't rain all the time - from The Crow — Brandon Lee

The technique that only uses explosion or expansion forces is lethal and hostile to the nature.
