If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning…
-C. S. Lewis "C. S. Lewis"

You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
Vacuity, tranquillity, mellowness, quietness and taking no action characterise things of the universe at peace and represent the ultimate Tao and virtue. Therefore abide in them.
If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humour.
-Candace Bushnell
"Sex and the City"
The universe has been created out of knowledge and action and seems also possessed of consciousness.
Whether you’re a gem in the royal court or a stone on the common path, if you accept your part with humility the glory of the universe will be yours.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
-Henry David Thoreau
We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath.
-Laurence Binyon
