Universality Quotes (page 43)

Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe..."
If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now look at me! Take a good look! I was born and I knew I was alive and I knew what I wanted. What do you think is alive in me? Why do you think I'm alive? Because I have a stomach and eat and digest the food? Because I breathe and work and produce more food to digest? Or because I know what I want, and that something which knows how to want—isn't that life itself? And who—in this damned universe—who can tell me why I should live for anything but for that which I want? Ayn Rand
This is the whole point of technology. It creates an appetite for immortality on the one hand. It threatens universal extinction on the other. Technology is lust removed from nature. - Murray (WN 285) Don DeLillo
Albert Schweitzer quote: "As we know life in ourselves we want to understand life in the..."
As we know life in ourselves we want to understand life in the universe in order to enter into harmony with it. Albert Schweitzer
The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied. Douglas Adams
As in all infant sciences, the universal habit of the human mind - to take a partial or local truth, generalise it unduly and try to explain a whole field of nature in its narrow terms - runs riot here (in psychoanalysis). Moreover, the exaggeration of the importance of suppressed sexual complexes is a dangerous falsehood. Sri Aurobindo
IV? The bounded is loathed by its possessor. The same dull round even of a universe would soon become a mill with complicated wheels. V? If the many become the same as the few, when possess'd, More! More! is the cry of a mistaken soul, less than All cannot satisfy Man. VI? If any could desire what he is incapable of possessing, despair must be his eternal lot. VII? The desire of Man being Infinite the possession is Infinite & himself Infinite. William Blake
The Friend of Your Youth is the only friend you will ever have, for he does not really see you. He sees in his mind a face which does not exist anymore, speaks a name…which belongs to that non-existent face but which by some inane and doddering confusion of the universe is for the moment attached to a not too happily met and boring stranger. Robert Penn Warren
Muriel Rukeyser quote: "The universe is made up of stories, not atoms."
The universe is made up of stories, not atoms. Muriel Rukeyser
Werner Heisenberg quote: "Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is..."
Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think. Werner Heisenberg
We have everything we need to be happy but we aren't happy. Something is missing...It is not books you need, it's some of the things that are in books. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. Ray Bradbury
Pablo Neruda quote: "I move in the university of the waves."
I move in the university of the waves. Pablo Neruda
but it was a religion which enabled him to despise himself and everyone else without despising the universe, thus allowing him at once in argument or conversation to the advantages of the pessimist and the optimist. Charles Williams
Once the writer in every individual comes to life (and that time is not far off), we are in for an age of universal deafness and lack of understanding. Milan Kundera
I've never been able to forget the infinite little smile of pure affection that danced across his livid face. Enough gaiety to fill the universe. Few people past twenty preserve any of the affection, the affection of animals. This world isn't what we expected. So our looks change! They change plenty! We made a mistake! And turned into a thorough stinker in next to no time! Past twenty it shows in our face! A mistake! Our face is just a mistake! Louis-Ferdinand Celine
