Cat: "Pookey"
(I'd upload her pic but I doubt that github wishes to be known as a
repository of cat pictures...)
Metaphysics: David Deutsch
"All of them agree with Everett’s original theory that generically,
when an experiment is observed to have a particular result, all the
other possible results also occur and are observed simultaneously by
other instances of the same observer who exist in physical reality –
whose multiplicity the various Everettian theories refer to by terms
such as ‘multiverse’, ‘many universes’, ‘many histories’ or even
‘many minds’."
--David Deutsch, The Clarendon Laboratory, University of Oxford,
"The Logic of Experimental Tests, Particularly of Everettian Quantum
Theory", June 2016

Novels: John le Carré and Martin Cruz Smith
"There was only now, Goethe was right. There was no tomorrow because
tomorrow was the excuse. There was now, or there was nowhere."
―-John le Carré, "The Russia House"
"It doesn't matter how ridiculous a lie is if it is your only chance
of escape. It doesn't matter how obvious the truth is if the truth
is that you'll never escape."
―-Martin Cruz Smith, "Gorky Park"
Numbers: Douglas Adams
"recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined
as being anything other than itself"
"Recipriversexclusons now play a vital part in many branches of
math, including statistics and accountancy and also form the basic
equations used to engineer the Somebody Else's Problem field."
--Douglas Adams, "Life, the Universe and Everything"
Pataphysics: Alfred Jarry
"... pataphysics as an idea that 'the virtual or imaginary nature of
things as glimpsed by the heightened vision of poetry or science or
love can be seized and lived as real.'"
Pataphysics, Wikipedia
Philosophy: Epictetus
1. Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our
control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word,
whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body,
property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not
our own actions.
The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained,
unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish,
restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose
that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what
belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will
lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with
gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is
your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no
one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find
fault with no one or accuse no one. You will do nothing against your
will. No one will hurt you, you will have no enemies, and you not be
harmed.
Aiming therefore at such great things, remember that you must not
allow yourself to be carried, even with a slight tendency, towards
the attainment of lesser things. Instead, you must entirely quit
some things and for the present postpone the rest. But if you would
both have these great things, along with power and riches, then you
will not gain even the latter, because you aim at the former too:
but you will absolutely fail of the former, by which alone happiness
and freedom are achieved.
Work, therefore to be able to say to every harsh appearance, "You
are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to
be." And then examine it by those rules which you have, and first,
and chiefly, by this: whether it concerns the things which are in
our own control, or those which are not; and, if it concerns
anything not in our control, be prepared to say that it is nothing
to you.
--Epictetus, The Enchiridion
Poetry: Lord Alfred Tennyson
"Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die."
- Lord Alfred Tennyson, "Ulysses"
