‘Everyone who has found a hitherto unknown egg-whisk jamming an innocent kitchen drawer knows that raw matter is continually flowing into the universe in fairly developed forms, popping into existence normally in ashtrays, vases, and glove compartments.

Why matter does this is unclear, but it is evident that matter has Plans.’―Terry Pratchett, Eric
