In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

To create something you must be something.

We are the representatives of the cosmos; we are an example of what hydrogen atoms can do, given 15 billion years of cosmic evolution.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

Every legend, moreover, contains its residuum of truth, and the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.

Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time.

A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it’s there complete in the mind, if only at the back.

Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there’s the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn’t do it the way somebody told you to do it.

I think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

Nature teaches us that tens of billions of light years may have passed, and life in all of its expressions has always been subjected to an incredible combination of matter and radiation.

The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

If an eloquent speaker speak not the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?

What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.

It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.

Even Hubble hasn’t found yet the end of this universe, and we don’t know that it has any end.

We’re a blip in the existence of the universe, and we’re constantly trying to pull each other down. Not doing things to help each other.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

There is nothing your highest self wants more than peace. This peace makes you feel worthy of all of the richest blessings of the universe, and when you radiate this out into the world, it is returned to you without fail.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.

A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude.

I first had the idea of writing a popular book about the universe in 1982. My intention was partly to earn money to pay my daughter’s school fees.

Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.

I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

The big message of gospel is that you don’t have to keep fighting the universe; you can stop, and the universe is quite good to you. There is a loss of ego.

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

To the dumb question, ‚Why me?‘ the cosmos barely bothers to return the reply, ‚Why not?‘

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

When we understand string theory, we will know how the universe began. It won’t have much effect on how we live, but it is important to understand where we come from and what we can expect to find as we explore.

They say the universe is expanding. That should help with the traffic.

God made me and broke the mold.

In the divine milieu, all the elements of the universe touch each other by that which is most inward and ultimate in them. There they concentrate, little by little, all that is purest and most attractive in them without loss and without danger of subsequent corruption.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.

A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation.

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.

At the heart of every being lies creation’s dream of a principle that will one day give organic form to its fragmented treasures. God is unity.

Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.

Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the drug store, but that’s just peanuts to space.

Cosmology is a rapidly advancing field.

We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.

The gigantic tension before the shooting of an arrow, and the total relaxation seconds later, is my way of connecting to the universe.

The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.

All variety of created objects which represent order and life in the universe could happen only by the willful reasoning of its original Creator, whom I call the ‚Lord God.‘

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

Senator McCain is Israel’s most unconditional ally in Mossad’s machinations, something that even his worst adversaries would have been able to imagine. McCain participated alongside this secret service in the creation of the Islamic State, which has appropriated a considerable part of Iraq as well as a third of Syria, according to its affirmations.
