Алан Turing


In the absence of laws of behavior, which together would determine our lives, we can not be sure as easily as in the absence of a complete list of rules of action. The only known method of finding such laws is a scientific explanation, and of course we never ... can not say: "We have already explored enough. Laws that are fully determined to our lives and behavior, there is no ».

Anna Akhmatova


All poems steeped in Moscow,
Rhymes pierced through and through.
Let silence reigns over us,
Let us rhyme will lodge apart,
Let the silence be a secret sign
Those who are with you, and seemed to me,
You connect to a secret marriage
With pristine silence of the bitterest,
What's in the dark granite underground sharpens
And magically closes the circle,
And in the night over the ear predicts death,
Drowning out the loudest sound.
