Everything that comes together falls apart. Everything. The chair I’m sitting on. It was built, and so it will fall apart. I’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. And you’re gonna fall apart. The cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. The Buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: Entropy increases. Things fall apart.

John Green

Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that!

Stephen Hawking

Entropy makes things fall, but life ingeniously rigs the game so that when they do they often fall into place.

John Tooby

Trust in God's timing. It's better to have to wait a while and have things fall into place then to rush into something and have things fall apart.

Adam Cappa

Otherwise I'll fall apart. I'm going to fall apart. I am falling apart.

Tabitha Suzuma

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things could fall together.

Marilyn Monroe

I love it when celebrities fall apart, you want them to fall apart like Charlie Sheen.

Moby

Things fall apart, so they can fall together at a higher level of order.

Marilyn Ferguson

Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases.

Norman Ralph Augustine

Movies come together and they fall apart. We try to focus on things we love to see. It is, they come together, they fall apart and they come together again and you're with them for a long long time.

Chris Henchy

We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy. (10)

Pema Chodron

The arrow of time doesn't move forward forever. There's a phase in the history of the universe where you go from low entropy to high entropy. But then, once you reach the locally maximum entropy you can get to, there's no more arrow of time.

Sean M. Carroll

The universe is based on sullen entropy; It falls apart as it goes on

Robyn Hitchcock

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Marilyn Monroe

All the time we spent in bed, counting miles before we said, fall in love and fall apart, things will end before they start.

Sufjan Stevens

The total disorder in the universe, as measured by the quantity that physicists call entropy, increases steadily over time. Also, the total order in the universe, as measured by the complexity and permanence of organized structures, also increases steadily over time.

Freeman Dyson
