The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it.

You can’t have a relationship with a device whose limits are unknown to you, because without limits, it keeps becoming something else.

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

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

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

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

Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

It’s not proper for the government to intrude too thoroughly into the domain of the family. It’s inappropriate.

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

I’m astounded by people who want to ‚know‘ the universe when it’s hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.

I don’t see any boundaries between any of the art forms. I think they all inter-relate completely.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

Every living being is an engine geared to the wheelwork of the universe. Though seemingly affected only by its immediate surrounding, the sphere of external influence extends to infinite distance.

Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can’t date him. It can’t even be considered.

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

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.

When I was five, I think, that’s when I started wanting to be an actress. I loved to play. I didn’t like the world around me because it was kind of grim, but I loved to play house. It was like you could make your own boundaries.

When Jerry Springer thinks you’ve gone too far, my friends, you have gone too far.

Punk is musical freedom. It’s saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster’s terms, ‚nirvana‘ means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that’s pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

There is neither spirit nor matter in the world. The stuff of the universe is spirit-matter. No other substance but this could have produced the human molecule.

It is the stars, The stars above us, govern our conditions.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice.

By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.

We get the exciting result that the total energy of the universe is zero. Why this should be so is one of the great mysteries – and therefore one of the important questions of physics. After all, what would be the use of studying physics if the mysteries were not the most important things to investigate?

What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I’m not searching for hard news; I’m not a journalist, but I’m interested in pushing to boundaries of where we can do the kind of stories that we want to do. I mean, it’s a big world and CNN has made it a lot bigger and they haven’t flinched.

Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.

Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized.

The universe is wider than our views of it.

Buy clothes the size you want to wear.

Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits.

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?

The fault lines are shifting from the boundaries of nations into the web of our societies and the streets of our cities. And, terrorism and extremism are a global force that are larger than their changing names, groups, territories and targets.

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.

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

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

The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it – aliens.

The eyes of some persons are large, others small, and others of a moderate size; the last-mentioned are the best. And some eyes are projecting, some deep-set, and some moderate, and those which are deep-set have the most acute vision in all animals; the middle position is a sign of the best disposition.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.

I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

The human race may be the only intelligent beings in the galaxy.

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.

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.

Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.

The profoundly ‚atomic‘ character of the universe is visible in everyday experience, in raindrops and grains of sand, in the hosts of the living, and the multitude of stars; even in the ashes of the dead.

I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.

It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other.
