Oswald Spengler on the Character of His Age (AD 1918)

"We are civilized, not Gothic or Rococo, people. We have to reckon with the hard cold facts of a late life, to which the parallel is to be found not in Pericle's Athens, but in Caesar's Rome..... We have not chosen this time. We cannot help it if we are born as men of the early winter of full Civilization, instead of on the golden summit of a ripe Culture, in a Phidias or a Mozart time. Everything depends on our seeing our own position, our destiny, clearly, on our realizing that though we may lie to ourselves about it, we cannot evade it" ("The Decline of the West")

Joseph Conrad on the Second Law of Thermodynamics

"The fate of a humanity condemned ultimately to perish from cold is not worth troubling about. If you believe in improvement you must weep, for the attained perfection must end in cold, darkness, and silence" (From a letter to R. B. Cunninghame Graham)

H. G. Wells on the Second Law of Thermodynamics (AD 1895)

“The sun, red and very large, halted motionless upon the horizon, a vast dome glowing with a dull heat, and now and then suffering a momentary extinction…. All the sounds of man, the bleating of sheep, the cries of birds, the hum of insects, the stir that makes the background of our lives – all that was over" ("The Time Machine")
