Harry Hermione Viktor Triangle
“I vant to know,” he said, glowering, “vot there is between you and Hermy-own-ninny.” Harry, who from Krum’s secretive manner had expected something much more serious than this, stared up at Krum in amazement. “Nothing,” he said. But Krum glowered at him, and Harry, somehow struck anew by how tall Krum was, elaborated. “We’re friends. She’s not my girlfriend and she never has been. It’s just that Skeeter woman making things up.” “Hermy-own-ninny talks about you very often,” said Krum, looking suspiciously at Harry. “Yeah,” said Harry, “because we’re friends.” He couldn’t quite believe he was having this conversation with Viktor Krum, the famous International Quidditch player. It was as though the eighteen-year-old Krum thought he, Harry, was an equal — a real rival — “You haff never . . . you haff not . . .” “No,” said Harry very firmly.

Harry Potter
"Biliyor musun, gezegenlerin hareketini her gün izlemek, günlük hayatlarımızın ne kadar küçük ve önemsiz olduğunu anlamanı sağlıyor. Tartışıyoruz. Kavga ediyoruz. Çabalıyoruz. Servetimizi artırmak için rekabet ediyoruz. Evrene bak. Hareketi devasa bir saat gibi çok dinamik. Dünya bu saatin çarklarındaki küçük bir dişliden ibaret, insanların yarattığı fark ise bakterilerinkinden fazla değil. Kısa hayatlarını yaşayan, küçük savaşlarında savaşan milyonlarca ve milyonlarca bakteri. Evrenin mekanizmaları olmasaydı hiçbirimizin var olamayacağını durup düşünmüyorlar bile. İnsanların ne yaptığına bak—ölmeden önce asla harcamayacakları bir banka hesabı için birbirlerini öldürüyorlar. Bu saçmalık." "You know, watching the movement of the planets every day makes you realize how small and insignificant our daily lives are. We argue. We fight. We struggle. We compete to increase our wealth. Look at the universe. Its movement is so dynamic, like a huge clock. The earth is just a cog in the gears of the clock, and humans make no more difference than bacteria do. Millions and millions of bacteria living their short lives battling their petty battles. They don’t stop to think that without the mechanisms of the universe, none of us would exist. Look at what people do—they kill each other for a deposit in the bank, which they will never spend before they die. It’s ridiculous.”

But what they don’t know is: As long as you are alive, it is never too late to be found.
Sometimes you didn't know how you would feel about doing a thing until you went and did it. And then it's too late; you can never ever undo it.

Of course, if you...if you don't want to," he says into the silence, sliding his gaze away from me, "I can accept that. I won't bring it up again. I know I'm not....I know what I'm like. That I'm infuriating. And selfish. And cruel. I know I'm not perfect the way my brother is, and I manage to disappoint my parents every time. It's okay if you don't choose me, really—I never expected to be the first choice. I wouldn't blame you‚—" "I do choose you." He doesn't seem to hear me at first. He's still talking, rambling really, the words flowing out like rainwater. "I can't always say pretty things, and sometimes I tease you when really I just want you to look my way, and—wait." He stops. Even his breath freezes in his throat. "What...did you just say? Say it again." "I choose you," I say quietly, glad for the shadows concealing my flushed cheeks. For the support of the wall behind me. "You will always be my first choice, Julius Gong.

The Cartesian view of classical science had described the world as an automaton, which was deterministic and capable of total description in the form of causal laws, or "laws of nature." Today many natural scientists would argue that the world should be described quite differently. 9 It is a more unstable world, a much more complex world, a world in which perturbations play a big role, one of whose key questions is how to explain how such complexity arises. Most natural scientists no longer believe that the macroscopic can simply be deduced in principle from a simpler microscopic world. Many now believe that complex systems are self-organizing, and that consequently nature can no longer be considered to be passive. It is not that they believe Newtonian physics to be wrong, but that the stable, time-reversible systems which Newtonian science described represent only a special, limited segment of reality. Newtonian physics describes, for example, the motion of the planets but not the development of the planetary system. It describes systems at equilibrium or near to equilibrium but not systems far from equilibrium, conditions that are at least as frequent, if not more frequent, than systems at equilibrium. The conditions of a system far from equilibrium are not timereversible, in which it is sufficient to know the "law" and the initial conditions in order to predict its future states. Rather, a system far from equilibrium is the expression of an "arrow of time," whose role is essential and constructive. In such a system, the future is uncertain and the conditions are irreversible. The laws that we can formulate therefore enumerate only possibilities, never certainties.
