Arcadia on chaos theory: We can predict atoms and galaxies but not the weather or a dripping tap. When each fluctuation sets the conditions for the next, the ordinary will always be unpredictable.

You can be merry with [him], you can share a joke with him. But as Thomas More used to say, it’s like sporting with a tamed lion. You tousle its mane and pull its ears, but all the time you’re thinking, those claws, those claws, those claws.
Hilary Mantel, Bring Up The Bodies
CHIYOH: He was charming the way a cub is charming, a small cub that grows up to be like one of the big cats.
WILL GRAHAM: One you can’t play with later.

 “I am what I am. I know of no others like me; though why should I be the only one? Perhaps there are others, many others: I simply don’t know of them yet. So I live and die and live again, and learn nothing—” the word was bitterly pronounced,  “– of myself. Understand? You know what you are because you see others like you. If you were alone on earth, what would you know? What the mirror told you, that’s all. The rest would be myth and conjecture.”

Clive Barker, “Human Remains” Books of Blood
You are alone, because you are unique.

“The place in the egg, Yaichka, is a very elaborate place, a place to hide a death from its owner, and also to lead him to it. It is a perfect world, a world which could not survive outside the jeweled egg of Alkonost and Koschei, no matter how many permutations of this story the world might cycle through. (For of course you know the world tries on this story over and over, trying to make it work out differently, trying to make it perfect as an egg.) The world that is left behind when you forget what sorrow looks like, and death, too. A prophetic world that can never come true.”

Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless

FREDERICK CHILTON: The optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds; the pessimist fears this is true. This is your best possible world, Will. Not getting a better one. 

Hannibal 3x04, ‘Apertivo’, written by Nick Antosca, Steve Lightfoot, & Bryan Fuller

HANNIBAL: Do we talk about teacups and time and the rules of disorder?
WILL GRAHAM: The teacup is broken. It’ll never gather itself back together again.
HANNIBAL: Not even in your mind?

That’s where he was saying to his actors, when you’re cleaning his hand, do it when you’re on your knees, so it looks like fellatio. The actors watched the movie, and then they were like– oh, I get it now. But I think that he clearly wanted to include that in the conversation of the movie. Whether he was using it as a weapon of fear or just layering for the characters, I honestly don’t know. -Bryan Fuller, on queer subtext and AIDS panic in Tom Holland's Fright Night (source)
