C. S. Lewis

Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

British Writer

Ramana Maharshi

Who am I? Not the body, because it is decaying; not the mind, because the brain will decay with the body; not the personality, nor the emotions, for these also will vanish with death.

Indian Philosopher

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.

English Poet

Bob Dylan

I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.

American Musician

Samuel L. Jackson

We've come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay. I can't imagine Dr. King watching the 'Real Housewives' or 'Jersey Shore.

Actor

Leonardo DiCaprio

I saw all the moral decay you could, beginning at 2 years old. But I also got to see how the other half lived.

American Actor

Henry Miller

I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.

American Author

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.

James Joyce

My mouth is full of decayed teeth and my soul of decayed ambitions.

Irish Novelist

Gary Oldman

Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay.

English Actor

Decay suggests something gradually getting worse, not sudden damage.

Progressive Worsening

Decay implies a loss of value or function, often evoking a sad or negative feeling.

Negative Connotation

Decay is often used to describe visible deterioration of objects.

Visible Change

Decay as a verb does not usually apply to people or their skills.

Personal Attribution

Decay implies a gradual change, not an instant one like 'break' or 'shatter'.

Slow Transformation

Decay frequently occurs in nature, often referring to organic material.

Common in Nature

When used in physics, decay refers to very specific atomic changes.

Scientific Specificity

In physics, decay doesn't mean 'rot', it's about particles and energy.

Not Biological

Decay in the dental field specifically refers to tooth damage.

Dental Context

Decay here implies preventable deterioration due to poor care.

Caused by Neglect

Decay as fading or lessening is often used to describe signals or sounds.

Gradual Loss

Decay can be measured, such as the decibels of a sound decaying over distance.

Quantitative Fading

 It tends to live around decaying plant matter. So places like this are amazing for it because it's a ferocious predator. So that's where it likes to hunt all of its invertebrates. It's very quick, and it's also got a couple of defence mechanisms and threat displays so it can raise up its abdomen a bit like a scorpion, it does a scorpion like pose, and that's to intimidate its predators.

 Let's return to the microraptor fossil. When scientists examined its feather imprints under a powerful microscope, they found nanostructures that look like melanosomes. X-ray analysis of the melanosomes further supported that theory. They contained minerals that would result from the decay of melanin.

 which meant that classical books that praised physical pleasures were not copied or protected. Without protection, they became the victims of natural decay, fire, flooding, or pests. And without the help of monks transcribing new copies, these texts and the philosophies they carried

 Now, the detectors take snapshots of about a billion of these collisions per second to find signs of extremely rare massive particles. To add to the difficulty, the particles we're looking for may be unstable and decay into more familiar particles before reaching the sensors.

Could we create dark...

 Deep underground lies stores of once inaccessible natural gas. This gas was likely formed over millions of years as layers of decaying organisms were exposed to intense heat and pressure under the Earth's crust. There's a technology called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,

How does fracking work?...

 fission products, and plutonium, a radioactive material not found in nature. This mix must be isolated from the environment until it has all safely decayed. Many countries propose deep time storage in tunnels drilled far underground,

How do nuclear power...

 Law number power is never static. It's always either accumulating or decaying in a civic arena. So if you aren't taking action, you're being acted upon. Law number power is like water. It flows like a current through everyday life.

How to understand power...

 we would see atoms shrinking, neutrons decaying inside atomic nuclei, nuclei disintegrating, and hydrogen would be the only possible chemical element in the universe.
