| Quote:If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Philosophy is written in this grand book - I mean the Universe - which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.[Galileo Galilei] Quote:If the universe is so bad...how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If we will not learn to eat the only food that the universe grows...then we must starve eternally.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Magnetism is one of the Six Fundamental Forces of the Universe, with the other five being Gravity, Duct Tape, Whining, Remote Control, and The Force That Pulls Dogs Toward The Groins Of Strangers.[Dave Barry] Quote:The four building blocks of the universe are fire, water, gravel and vinyl.[Dave Barry] Quote:If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning...[C.S. Lewis] Quote:My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.[Christopher Morley] Quote:Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?[Stephen Hawking] Quote:My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?[Stephen Hawking] Quote:We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:God does not play dice with the universe.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by Homo Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Deep versed in books and shallow in himself.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have: Cincinnati sounds worse.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.[Woody Allen] Quote:I've occasionally heard that I was kicked out of Harvard for being a Communist, for dealing drugs, for corrupting minors, or for diverse other infractions of local decorum. Unfortunately, none of these rumors are true. The one I've heard more often is that I am dead. That one I encouraged, hoping it would cut down on the junk mail. It didn't.[Tom Lehrer] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.[GK Chesterton] Quote:There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.[Douglas Adams] Quote:Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.[Douglas Adams] Quote:Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reason.[Douglas Adams] Quote:You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.[Plato] Quote:Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. [Bill Watterson] Quote:Einstein said God doesn't play dice with the universe, but I don't know--maybe not as a whole, but I think he gets a pretty big kick out of messing in peoples' back yards. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male and female. Yin and yang. Proton and electron. What are we talking about here? Nothing less than the very tension that binds the universe. You see, when we look at marriage, people, we're are looking at creation itself. "I am the sky," says the Hindu bridegroom to the bride. "You are the earth. We are sky and earth united.... You are my husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind thinks because of you and I shall love because of you." [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts. [Cicero] Quote:When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it. [Bruce Barton] Quote:Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine. [Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. [Henry David Thoreau] Quote:Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it. [Max Frisch] Quote:The universe seems wondrous to me, with or without God. It has powerful lines and uncompromising ways. Patience and time sit like sages on the planets, strong and impersonal. There is a stark beauty to all of this.
