Today's Quotation

I would not have expected a sentiment like this from noted writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), but apparently he said it (or wrote it, which amounts to the same thing):

"Thinking is the crest of deep physical
turbulence rushing from a point of
original unity at the beginning of
the universe. It is a product of the
same motility and physical processes
that created galaxies. When one
thinks, one is present at the first
instant of time."
