The law of revolution is red, fiery, deadly; but this death means the birth of new life, a new star. And the law of entropy is cold, ice blue, like the icy interplanetary infinities. The flame turns from red to an even, warm pink, no longer deadly, but comfortable.

— Yevgeny Zamyatin On Literature, Revolution, Entropy and Other Matters (1923)
