My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.
Ursula K. Le Guin (The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia)
How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold.
Marquis de Sade (Les Prosperites du Vice)
I know what cancer was. How is it like humankind?" Sek Hardeen's perfectly modulated, softly accented tones showed a hint of agitation. "We have spread out through the galaxy like cancer cells through a living body, Duré. We multiply without thought to the countless life forms that must die or be pushed aside so that we may breed and flourish. We eradicate competing forms of intelligent life.
Dan Simmons (The Fall of Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos, #2))
And as we stray further from love we multiply the words, words and sentences so long and orderly. Had we remained together we could have become a silence.
Yehuda Amichai (The Selected Poetry of Yehuda Amichai)
Humans are the reproductive organs of technology. We multiply manufactured artifacts and spread ideas and memes.
Kevin Kelly (What Technology Wants)
When we act upon capital as stewards, we not only retain it - we multiply it. We grow it. We expand it. And we perpetuate it to impact more and more lives in meaningful ways.
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr. (Business for Beginners: Getting Started)
With sharing our common purpose we multiply and with keeping to ourselves we divide.
Santosh Kalwar
By using Kamb’s level-up strategy, we multiply the number of motivating milestones we encounter en route to a goal. That’s a forward-looking strategy: We’re anticipating moments of pride ahead.
Chip Heath (The Power of Moments: Why Certain Moments Have Extraordinary Impact)
The irony of our existence is this: We are infinitesimal in the grand scheme of evolution, a tiny organism on Earth. And yet, personally, collectively, we are changing the planet through our voracity, the velocity of our reach, our desires, our ambitions, and our appetites. We multiply, our hunger multiplies, and our insatiable craving accelerates. Consumption is a progressive disease. We believe in more, more possessions, more power, more war. Anywhere, everywhere our advance of aggression continues. My aggression toward myself is the first war. Wilderness is an antidote to the war within ourselves.
Terry Tempest Williams (The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks)
Let us begin with the fine-structure constant. ... The fine-structure constant is really the ratio of two natural units or atoms of action. ... We obtain action when we multiply energy by time. ... We are challenged to find a unified theory of electric particles and radiation in which the electrostatic type of action and the quantum type of action are traced to their source.
Arthur Stanley Eddington (New Pathways in Science)
When we deal with probabilities under ordinary circumstances, there are the following "rules of composition": 1) if something can happen in alternative ways, we add the probabilities for each of the different ways; 2) i the event occurs as a succession of steps-or depends on a number of things happening "concomitantly" (independently)-then we multiply the probabilities of each of the steps (or things).
Richard P. Feynman (QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter)
The Great Change is when humankind accepts its role as part of the natural order of the universe instead of its role as a cancer.” “Cancer?” “It is an ancient disease which—” “Yes,” said Duré, “I know what cancer was. How is it like humankind?” Sek Hardeen’s perfectly modulated, softly accented tones showed a hint of agitation. “We have spread out through the galaxy like cancer cells through a living body, Duré. We multiply without thought to the countless life forms that must die or be pushed aside so that we may breed and flourish. We eradicate competing forms of intelligent life.
Dan Simmons (The Fall of Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos, #2))
My world, my Earth, is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and gobbled and fought until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first. There are no forests left on my Earth. The air is grey, the sky is grey, it is always hot. It is habitable, it is still habitable—but not as this world is. This is a living world, a harmony. Mine is a discord. You Odonians chose a desert; we Terrans made a desert…. We survive there, as you do. People are tough! There are nearly a half billion of us now. Once there were nine billion. You can see the old cities still everywhere. The bones and bricks go to dust, but the little pieces of plastic never do—they never adapt either.
Ursula K. Le Guin (The Dispossessed)
This is the cell division of firefights; it’s how we multiply.
Christian D'Andrea (Touching the Dragon: And Other Techniques for Surviving Life's Wars)
We cap our ability to succeed when we work solo. When we come together, we multiply both ideas and effort; we increase the capacity to succeed.
Dele Ola (Pursuit of Personal Leadership: Practical Principles of Personal Achievement)
i do not believe all that grinnin was weakness. i am positive some of it was a strength a magic all its own, a genius within our race. for we multiplied, we didn't use the gun all the time, but we did if we had to, sometimes we played a part. i can't figure out all this mess, all i know is i cannot deny the places from which i come. i accept them, and try to learn, grow and expand myself further.
Alison Mills Newman (Francisco)
Multiply 85 by 995 Here, the number 85 is close to the base 100 and the number 995 is close to the base 1000. We will multiply 85 with 10 and make both the bases equal thus facilitating the calculation. Since, we have multiplied 85 by 10 we will divide the final answer by 10 to get the accurate answer. • We multiply 85 by 10 and make it 850. Now, both the numbers are close to 1000 which we will take as our base • The difference is -150 and -5 which gives a product of 750 • The cross answer is 845 which we will put on the LHS • Thus, the complete answer is 845750. But, since we have multiplied 85 by 10 and made it 850 we have to divide the final answer by 10 to get the effect of 85 again. When 845750 is divided by 10 we get 84575 • Thus, the product of 85 into 9995 is 84575
Dhaval Bathia (Vedic Mathematics Made Easy)
I carry my love over, and I carry over the two when we multiply.
Jarod Kintz (99 Cents For Some Nonsense)
You can’t justify your existence by what you do. You can’t justify it through a promotion, a huge bonus, or the ability to feed your family all organic food. You can’t justify your existence through your holiday cards or your well-attended speech. You can’t justify it through your huge Twitter following or your mommy blog. These attempts to attain some measure of success are vanity, according to Ecclesiastes. What we long for is perfection—in our works and in who we are. This is only possible through Jesus—Jesus lived the perfect life we can’t, paid the penalty for our sins that we can’t, and rose from the dead so that one day we will rise if we trust Him for the gift of eternal life. What needs to be done has already been done! Until then, we invest. We invest what we’ve received so that we multiply His gifts for His glory.
Carolyn McCulley (The Measure of Success: Uncovering the Biblical Perspective on Women, Work, and the Home)
My world, my Earth, is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and gobbled and fought until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first. There are no forests left on my Earth. The air is grey, the sky is grey, it is always hot.
Ursula K. Le Guin (The Dispossessed)
In any case, the multiplication of possible universes, with multiple different laws of physics too, only multiplies the explanatory problem of those who are skeptical. If, in order to explain the Big Bang and our universe, we find ourselves “forced” to resort to a Something or Someone or Creator, this necessity does not diminish if we multiply the universes and the Big Bangs. Each one of them would have had a beginning and, consequently, a “starter.
José Carlos González-Hurtado (New Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God)
So what kind of a function is δ(t)? The answer is that it really isn’t a function at all, it’s a distribution, sometimes also called a generalized function. A distribution is only defined in terms of what happens when we multiply by a function and integrate. Whenever a delta function appears, there is an implicit integration lurking in the background.
Dave Benson (Music: A Mathematical Offering)
We have increased our population to the level of 7 billion and beyond. We are well on our way toward 9 billion before our growth trend is likely to flatten. We live at high densities in many cities. We have penetrated, and we continue to penetrate, the last great forests and other wild ecosystems of the planet, disrupting the physical structures and the ecological communities of such places. We cut our way through the Congo. We cut our way through the Amazon. We cut our way through Borneo. We cut our way through Madagascar. We cut our way through New Guinea and northeastern Australia. We shake the trees, figuratively and literally, and things fall out. We kill and butcher and eat many of the wild animals found there. We settle in those places, creating villages, work camps, towns, extractive industries, new cities. We bring in our domesticated animals, replacing the wild herbivores with livestock. We multiply our livestock as we've multiplied ourselves, operating huge factory-scale operations involving thousands of cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep, and goats, not to mention hundreds of bamboo rats and palm civets, all confined en masse within pens and corrals, under conditions that allow those domestics and semidomestics to acquire infectious pathogens from external sources (such as bats roosting over the pig pens), to share those infections with one another, and to provide abundant opportunities for the pathogens to evolve new forms, some of which are capable of infecting a human as well as a cow or a duck. We treat many of those stock animals with prophylactic doses of antibiotics and other drugs, intended not to cure them but to foster their weight gain and maintain their health just sufficiently for profitable sale and slaughter, and in doing that we encourage the evolution of resistant bacteria. We export and import livestock across great distances and at high speeds. We export and import other live animals, especially primates, for medical research. We export and import wild animals as exotic pets. We export and import animal skins, contraband bushmeat, and plants, some of which carry secret microbial passengers. We travel, moving between cities and continents even more quickly than our transported livestock. We stay in hotels where strangers sneeze and vomit. We eat in restaurants where the cook may have butchered a porcupine before working on our scallops. We visit monkey temples in Asia, live markets in India, picturesque villages in South America, dusty archeological sites in New Mexico, dairy towns in the Netherlands, bat caves in East Africa, racetracks in Australia – breathing the air, feeding the animals, touching things, shaking hands with the friendly locals – and then we jump on our planes and fly home. We get bitten by mosquitoes and ticks. We alter the global climate with our carbon emissions, which may in turn alter the latitudinal ranges within which those mosquitoes and ticks live. We provide an irresistible opportunity for enterprising microbes by the ubiquity and abundance of our human bodies. Everything I’ve just mentioned is encompassed within this rubric: the ecology and evolutionary biology of zoonotic diseases. Ecological circumstance provides opportunity for spillover. Evolution seizes opportunity, explores possibilities, and helps convert spillovers to pandemics.
David Quammen (Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic)
My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first. Ursula K. Le Guin
