The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.

Time is the most important thing there is. That is the only element that you can't withdraw from the situation and still have the situation exist. Everything depends on time.

The best way to express rhythm is music.

You read about somebody, and it doesn't really matter whether or not they really exist - the point is that you get into them like real characters.

I'm like a child trying to do everything, say everything and be everything all at once.

After you start learning all about the mechanics of piloting a riverboat, you stop seeing all the pretty sunsets and you start thinking about the weather.

The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.

Near the sun is the center of the universe.

There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago.

So the old Copenhagen interpretation needs to be generalized, needs to be replaced by something that can be used for the whole universe, and can be used also in cases where there is plenty of individuality and history.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

The rockets and the satellites, spaceships that we're creating now, we're pollinating the universe.

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.

Be universal in your love. You will see the universe to be the picture of your own being.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

This universe can very well be expressed in words and syllables which are not those of one's mother tongue.

We can certainly go further than cats, but why should it be that our brains are somehow so suited to the universe that our brains will be able to understand the deepest workings?

The earth is a tremendous gift. There is nothing else like it in the known universe. I want to leave it the way I found it.

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.

As we get past our superficial material wants and instant gratification we connect to a deeper part of ourselves, as well as to others, and the universe.

Today we no longer regard the universe as the cause of our own undeserved troubles but perhaps, on the contrary, as the last refuge from the mismanagement of our earthly affairs.

The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move; the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe, and old as eternity.

The author, in his work, must be like God in the Universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere.

The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.

I walk around feeling a sort of existential guilt all the time; and honestly for me this house is a way of feeling less guilty about the universe.

There is a coherent plan in the universe, though I don't know what it's a plan for.

Master of the universe but not of myself, I am the only rebel against my absolute power.

My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.

To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.

It is thought and feeling which guides the universe, not deeds.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

Man is always marveling at what he has blown apart, never at what the universe has put together, and this is his limitation.

Do not lose hope in what the universe has placed you here to do.

You may have the universe if I may have Italy.

Greed has taken the whole universe, and nobody is worried about their soul.

It would be a poor thing to be an atom in a universe without physicists, and physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.

It would be difficult to discover the truth about the universe if we refused to consider anything that might be true.

The kingdom of God is an order of government established by divine authority. It is the only legal government that can exist in any part of the universe.

Is it possible that I am not alone in believing that in the dispute between Galileo and the Church, the Church was right and the centre of man's universe is the earth?

An actor should be able to create the universe in the palm of his hand.

We endeavor to stuff the universe into the gullet of an aphorism.

Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life here on earth; it applies to the whole universe.

I cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me.

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.
