The Snail Philosophy

Time sometimes flies like a bird
sometimes crawls like a snail
but a man is happiest 
when he does not even notice 
whether it passes swiftly or slowly
 - Ivan Turgenev 


The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically 
as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy
and it's also the same mathematically 
as the spirals in our DNA. 
It's the same ratio that you'll find 
in very basic music 
that transcends cultures all over the world.
 - Joseph Gordon-Levitt
