I went to OKCupid, a matchmaking/people finding site. I clicked on a picture of a pretty girl from San Francisco that had recently been uploaded. In her profile, she said she was training to be a trapeze artist for the circus; she included a quote that I'd heard before: "Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
I searched on Google for the phrase and found it attributed to Walt Whitman. I looked up Walt Whitman in Wikipedia, and I found out that he built his own tomb and inscribed a quote on it:
"My foothold is tenon'd and mortis'd in granite;
I laugh at what you call dissolution;
And I know the amplitude of time."
I searched for the phrase "the amplitude of time" in Google and came up with a bunch of physics papers.
Obviously, physics is love.
