-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwavad Gita 7.6"

-Reverend John Polkinghorne "Reverend John Polkinghorne"
Each man is a microcosm of the universe. Your body is made of all the elements of the world. Nature supplied all the ingredients that make your body, which means that the universe made you by donating itself. You could accurately say that you are a small walking universe that can move, whereas the cosmic universe is stationary.
-Sun Myung Moon "Sun Myung Moon"
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
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
-Albert Einstein
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 universe is wider than our views of it.
