Quotations
Universe
A man said to the universe: “Sir, I exist!” “However,” replied the universe. “The fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.”
-Stephen Crane "Stephen Crane"
The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.
-Carl Sagan "Carl Sagan"
The vast space of this universe doesn't end anywhere. Think, even if it ends,
what would lie beyond? That too, can't be anything other than space. In such a
certainly infinite universe what sort of things are we worried about?
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Anonymous "Druidic Axiom"
The universe has been created out of knowledge and action and seems also possessed of consciousness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Abhivavagupta"
We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath.
-Laurence Binyon
In this existence, not even a particle can ever be created or destroyed. Yes,
to some extent, it can be transformed...and some transformation happens by
itself.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Thayumanavar"
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
-Swami Vivekananda
