Secretly incredible people keep what they do as one of God’s best-kept secrets because the only one who needs to know – the God of the universe – already knows.
Working in Isaac’s universe was more of a treat than a challenge.
If I’m having a stressful day, I can look at the sky and feel centered again and realize I’m just a tiny little dot in this whole universe and that, actually, everything’s going to be just fine.
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
It becomes us in humility to make our devout acknowledgments to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored.
Man is a universe within himself.

I feel like if you put something out into the universe, then you increase your chances of it happening.
In love’s godlike breathing, there’s the innermost aspect of the universe.
In a lot of areas of my life, particularly in my teenage years, I began to think about the world, and to think about the universe as being a part of my conscious everyday life.
As soon as the idea of the Big Bang was proposed in the 1920s, astronomers set about trying to work out when the bang happened. Initial estimates were, not surprisingly, wildly inaccurate, but by the 1980s it was known that the universe was 15 billion years old, give or take 5 billion years.
But the universe, as a collection of finite things, presents itself as a kind of island situated in a pure vacuity to which time, regarded as a series of mutually exclusive moments, is nothing and does nothing.
I don’t think humanity is the highest form of life that will ever exist in the universe. Maybe that’s a bit cynical. But most of the people I know are loving, kind, doing their best.
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
The adults don’t know what’s happening on the kids’ universe and the kids don’t know what’s happening on the adults’ universe.
The ability to reduce everything to simple fundamental laws does not imply the ability to start from those laws and reconstruct the universe.
Living here on Earth, we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos, poetry is born.
I admire our ancestors, whoever they were. I think the first self-conscious person must have shaken in his boots. Because as he becomes self-conscious, he’s no longer part of nature. He sees himself against nature. He looks at the vastness of the universe and it looks hostile.
When we imagine our Universe to be just one out of a multitude of possible worlds we devalue this world, the one we see, the one we should be trying to explain.
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
We’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.
At the same time, new concepts and abstractions flow into the picture, taking up the task of describing the universe without reference to such time or space – abstractions for which our language lacks adequate terms.
When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
I’m not somebody who gets teared up or anything, but I still look up at the stars, and it gives me hope, and it gives me energy. I think one of the things that we have to think about it is, we are all a part of this universe.
The box was a universe, a poem, frozen on the boundaries of human experience.
I implore you to see the universe as a warm and supportive one because you’ll look for evidence to support this view. When you anticipate that the universe is friendly, you see friendly people. You look for circumstances to work in your favor. You anticipate good fortune flowing into your life.
Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin. Now, they are so subtle, they can milk you with two notes. They can make you feel like they told you the whole universe. But I don’t know that yet. All I got now is strength. Maybe if I keep singing, maybe I’ll get it.
The whole of the hydrogen on the earth might be transformed at once and the success of the experiment published at large to the universe as a new star.
I remember, May 1944: I was 15-and-a-half, and I was thrown into a haunted universe where the story of the human adventure seemed to swing irrevocably between horror and malediction.
The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.
I believe absolutely in love being the central motive force of the universe.
Globalization has created this interlocking fragility. At no time in the history of the universe has the cancellation of a Christmas order in New York meant layoffs in China.
Changes… can only be effected by alterations in the original. The only thing not prerecorded in a prerecorded universe are the prerecordings themselves. The copies can only repeat themselves word for word. A virus is a copy. You can pretty it up, cut it up, scramble it – it will reassemble in the same form.
The writer needs to react to his or her own internal universe, to his or her own point of view. If he or she doesn’t have a personal point of view, it’s impossible to be a creator.
I talk to the universe all the time.
I believe that rejection is a blessing because it’s the universe’s way of telling you that there’s something better out there.
I always say when it comes to dream matches, that is not up to me: that’s up to the WWE Universe. That’s up to the fans. But there is a guy on ‘SmackDown’ that I have yet to wrestle yet that’s certainly gonna happen at some point, and that’s Randy Orton.
Neuroscience is by far the most exciting branch of science because the brain is the most fascinating object in the universe. Every human brain is different – the brain makes each human unique and defines who he or she is.
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.
I believe the universe has great plans for us. When you are young, you don’t learn that.
Listen; there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go.
To be more childlike, you don’t have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously. Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe.
I want to know why the universe exists, why there is something greater than nothing.
My child was not only carried by me, but by the universe.
The universe is not fair and it is never going to be fair.
We are now living in a post-Roosevelt, post-Reagan universe. What comes next will not be post-partisan, because faction is an intrinsic human impulse.
Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.
The cosmos is three times as old as Earth. During most of creation’s 14 billion year history, our solar system wasn’t around. Nonetheless, the early universe still had the right stuff for life, and contained worlds that were just as suitable for spawning biology and intelligence as our own.
So for instance it becomes clear why space and time and even the properties of matter itself depend on the observer in consciousness. In fact when you take this point of view it even explains why the laws of the universe themselves are fine tuned for the existence of life.
Many people find the universe confusing – it’s not.
There is nothing bigger or older than the universe.
‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ was, as ‘Ant-Man’ was, just fun, in terms of expanding this universe. We always say, how can we keep audiences surprise at what an MCU film can be?
A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory.
Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.
God may not play dice with the universe, but something strange is going on with the prime numbers.
The creator of the universe works in mysterious ways. But he uses a base ten counting system and likes round numbers.
If God is the mystery of the universe, these mysteries, we’re tackling these mysteries one by one. If you’re going to stay religious at the end of the conversation, God has to mean more to you than just where science has yet to tread.
When Galileo first trained his optic telescope on the heavens and opened up modern optical astronomy, that was the first of the electromagnetic windows out of the universe: light.
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
We can hear the silent voice of the spiritual universe within our own hearts.
Techno-humanism aims to amplify the power of humans, creating cyborgs and connecting humans to computers, but it still sees human interests and desires as the highest authority in the universe.
