You want God? Don't look at Scripture, look everywhere, at the planets, the constellations, the universe. Look at a bug, a flea. Look at the manifold wonders of creation, including the Nazis. That's the kind of God you're dealing with. E. L. Doctorow
There is a theory that if anyone ever figures out why the universe is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced with something even more bizarre and inexplicable. Another theory states that this has already happened. Douglas Adams
This is man: a writer of books, a putter-down of words, a painter of pictures, a maker of ten thousand philosophies. He grows passionate over ideas, he hurls scorn and mockery at another's work, he finds the one way, the true way, for himself, and calls all others false--yet in the billion books upon the shelves there is not one that can tell him how to draw a single fleeting breath in peace and comfort. He makes histories of the universe, he directs the destiny of the nations, but he does... Thomas Wolfe
The universe is always speaking to us. ... Sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, to look around, to believe in something else, something more. Nancy Thayer
So this, thought Jan, with a resignation that lay beyond all sadness, was the end of man. It was an end that no prophet had foreseen? an end that repudiated optimism and pessimism alike. Yet it was fitting: it had the sublime inevitability of a great work of art. Jan had glimpsed the universe in all its immensity, and knew now that it was no place for man. He realized at last how vain, in the ultimate analysis, had been the dream that lured him to the stars. For the road to the stars was a... Arthur C. Clarke
Virginia Woolf quote: "There is nothing staid, nothing settled, in this universe. All..."
There is nothing staid, nothing settled, in this universe. All is ripling, all is dancing; all is quickness and triumph. Virginia Woolf
It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; by thought I comprehend the world. Blaise Pascal
Nikola Tesla quote: "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in..."
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. Nikola Tesla
Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and other dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner Neil Gaiman
Like the great pendulum in its rotunda scribing through the long day movements of the universe of which you may say it knows nothing and yet know it must. Cormac McCarthy
For string theory to make sense, the universe should have nine spacial dimensions and one time dimension, for a total of ten dimensions. Brian Greene
William Blake quote: "In the universe, there are things that are known, and things..."
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors. William Blake
Vergil preferred to give a few touches, and to allow the imagination of his readers to fill out the picture: that is one reason for his almost universal appeal. He changes each of his readers into a poet or an artist. Gilbert Highet
I'm wondering whether I can explain," said Lee. "Where there is no likeness of experience it's very difficult. I understand you were not born in America." "No, in Ireland." "And in a few years you can almost disappear; while I, who was born in Grass Valley, went to school and several years to the University of California, have no chance of mixing." "If you cut your queue, dressed and talked like other people?" "No. I tried it. To the so-called whites I was still a Chinese, but an... John Steinbeck
