"Life sucks...."

"Life sucks order from a sea of disorder"
-James Gleick

Context:

"Pattern born amid formlessness:

that is biology's basic beauty and its basic mystery.
Life sucks order from a sea of disorder.
Schrodinger put it this way:

A living organism has the

'astonishing gift of concentrating a stream of order on itself,

and thus escaping the delay into quantum chaos.'"

-Gleick, Chaos, p. 299
