“Style is not something applied. It is something that permeates.”
"Two or Three Ideas" (1951); later published in Opus Posthumous (1959)
Context: Style is not something applied. It is something that permeates. It is of the nature of that in which it is found, whether the poem, the manner of a god, the bearing of a man. It is not a dress.

“There was always something left: a vacuum energy that permeated every fibre of the Universe.”
John D. Barrow (1952–2020) British scientist
Source: The Book of Nothing (2009), chapter nought "Nothingology—Flying to Nowhere"<!-- p. 10-->
Context: The quantum revolution showed us why the old picture of a vacuum as an empty box was untenable.... Gradually, this exotic new picture of quantum nothingness succumbed to experimental exploration... in the form of vacuum tubes, light bulbs and X-rays. Now the 'empty' space itself started to be probed.... There was always something left: a vacuum energy that permeated every fibre of the Universe.

Alan Moore on Anarchism (2009)
Context: The whole program of evolution seems to be to diversify, because in diversity there is strength.
And if you apply that on a social level, then you get something like anarchy. Everybody is recognized as having their own abilities, their own particular agendas, and everybody has their own need to work cooperatively with other people. So it’s conceivable that the same kind of circumstances that obtain in a small human grouping, like a family or like a collection of friends, could be made to obtain in a wider human grouping like a civilization.
