But we are all transient

У Пригожина в The End of Certainty: 'But we are all transient. Is it not natural to be interested in our common human condition?'

всякая интересная фраза кем-то уже замечена, конечно:

"I am astonished that this young man is so interested in non-equilibrium physics. Irreversible processes are transient. Why not wait and study equilibrium as everyone else does?" He says: "I was so amazed at this response that I did not have the presence of mind to answer: 'But we are all transient. Is it not natural to be interested in our common human condition?'" - Time and notion
