Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Ralph Waldo EmersonSecrecy is the element of all goodness; even virtue, even beauty is mysterious.
Thomas CarlyleYouth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz KafkaBefore ever meeting Priyanka Chopra, I had heard her name coming out of Bollywood and was impressed: she was beautiful, talented, had made nearly 50 movies, earned multiple awards – a massive star.
Dwayne JohnsonGod Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis BaconEducation is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.
ChanakyaIsn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
Douglas AdamsThe first decade of the twentieth century was not a great time to be born black and poor and female in St. Louis, Missouri, but Vivian Baxter was born black and poor, to black and poor parents. Later she would grow up and be called beautiful. As a grown woman she would be known as the butter-colored lady with the blowback hair.
Maya AngelouEven sleepers are workers and collaborators in what goes on in the Universe.
HeraclitusI don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.
Eckhart TolleI am not the first Buddha who came upon Earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world – a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals.
BuddhaAstronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.
PlatoThe cosmos is about the smallest hole that a man can hide his head in.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThere is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI don’t think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.
Lady GagaEven these stars, which seem so numerous, are as sand, as dust – or less than dust – in the enormity of the space in which there is nothing.
Carl SaganReligion is part of the human make-up. It’s also part of our cultural and intellectual history. Religion was our first attempt at literature, the texts, our first attempt at cosmology, making sense of where we are in the universe, our first attempt at health care, believing in faith healing, our first attempt at philosophy.
Christopher HitchensHe who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Marcus AureliusNo matter how beautiful a woman might be, you’re always threatened by certain… You’re always threatened by other women, period.
Dolly PartonEven with all of the things that are so awful, if you walk into your yard and stay there looking at almost anything for five minutes, you will be stunned by how marvelous life is and how incredibly lucky we are to have it.
Alice WalkerThis 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.
Marcus Tullius CiceroMy lips, I’ve used collagen. I line my lips with collagen.
Dolly PartonSo long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?
Stephen HawkingWisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.
Thomas JeffersonOnce music ceases to be ephemeral – always disappearing – and becomes instead material… it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time.
Brian EnoThe first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.
Salvador DaliWe’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.
Kanye WestNothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man – the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Friedrich NietzscheWe are not without empathetic terror when we open Pascal’s ‚Pensees‘ and read, ‚I am the great silent spaces between worlds.‘
Carl SaganThere was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth. Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change. It operates everywhere and is free from danger. It may be considered the mother of the universe. I do not know its name; I call it Tao.
Lao TzuFor me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Carl SaganWhen I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
Mahatma GandhiNature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness.
Benjamin DisraeliIt was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
Winston ChurchillIn other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.
Alan WattsI’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.
Keanu ReevesHe had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
Isaac AsimovMany people find the universe confusing – it’s not.
Stephen HawkingThe 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.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinLove is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinSome scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank ZappaPhilosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the ‚Not Me,‘ that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, ‚Nature.‘
Ralph Waldo EmersonLook at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI put cocoa butter all over my face and my iconic belly and my arms and legs. Why live rough? Live smooth.
DJ KhaledIn the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Douglas AdamsFlowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.
Ralph Waldo EmersonScience sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn’t even nothing or once.
Kurt VonnegutWe require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.
John RuskinWho would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
Anne FrankA lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.
Christopher HitchensI thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
E. E. CummingsBefore 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities… space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe.
Stephen HawkingOnly on the edge of the grave can man conclude anything.
Henry AdamsAn example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it’s beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth… Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope FrancisThere is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.
Nikola TeslaNature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
Henry David ThoreauHelped are those who create anything at all, for they shall relive the thrill of their own conception and realize a partnership in the creation of the Universe that keeps them responsible and cheerful.
Alice WalkerLook up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
Stephen HawkingFor my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van GoghHow glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!
John Muir
