The quote — so fitting for this ''The Impossible Gets Real!'' episode of Lost — comes from Faraday's namesake, the 19th century egghead Michael Faraday, one of the founding fathers of electromagnetic science. It speaks to one of themes of the episode: How then do we live when destiny has us by the nuts?
