About Change

The following is a quote which recently caught my attention and which I think (somewhat humorously) describes my blog (so I’ve added it to my “About” page):
“A Miscellany is a collection without a natural ordering relation;  I shall not attempt a spurious unity by imposing artificial ones.  I hope that variety may compensate for this lack, except for those irreconcilable persons who demand an appearance of unity and uniform level.“
     —    John Edensor Littlewood
From the introduction to his book:  “A Mathematician’s Miscellany“
