I’m attending to my legacy, making sure that it travels the universe in the best shape I can get it into. For as long as I’m alive, I’ll still be its interpreter. – Roy Harper
I begged the universe to make me a famous comedian, and it did. So I tend not to ask for any more. – Ron White
I love pool because it’s a game of strategy, a game of the eye, and your whole universe is like this. I really want to become a pool shark. – Peggy Lipton
I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn’t conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way. – Rainn Wilson
I believe God controls the universe. I don’t believe biology works in an uncontrolled fashion. – Richard Mourdock
There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
God created the universe in such a manner that all in common might derive their food from it, and that the Earth should also be a property common to all. – Saint Ambrose
Human writing reflects that of the universe; it is its translation, but also its metaphor: it says something totally different, and it says the same thing. – Octavio Paz
I know that, except for carbon, there would be no life in the universe. Except for this one atom, there would be no life. Well, why? When you think about it, it does get spooky. Encountering these molecules are spiritual experiences similar to what I remember in church as a child, only these are more serious. – Richard Smalley
I love trade magazines – any trade’s magazine: by entering into what is taken for granted in a world not your own, you better recognize the vastness of the social universe – for there are so, so many worlds that are not your own. – Rick Perlstein
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. – Roberto Unger
To me it’s no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note A. And A is 440 cycles, except in Germany where it’s 444. But the universe is 450 cycles. So what I’m trying to say is, I think it’s God’s voice, melody especially. Counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony… that’s the science and the craft. – Quincy Jones
I look for what needs to be done. After all, that’s how the universe designs itself. – R. Buckminster Fuller
Some people take the view that the universe is simply there, and it runs along – it’s a bit as though it just sort of computes, and we happen by accident to find ourselves in this thing. I don’t think that’s a very fruitful or helpful way of looking at the universe. – Roger Penrose
What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me. – Rick Warren
Never angrily rant into your web cam. While smashing a keyboard in half over a game of ‘World of Warcraft’ may seem totally justified in your head, to the rest of the known universe you look like a raging psychopath. – Ray William Johnson
In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis. – Quentin Crisp
I always take kind of a zen view of casting and I really don’t remember people who passed. I kind of turn it over to the universe and figure, ‘Wow, I guess that wasn’t meant to be.’ It doesn’t sit with me. – Peter Farrelly
It is proportion that beautifies everything, the whole universe consists of it, and music is measured by it. – Orlando Gibbons
I’m not the judge of who that is, but I am a believer that no debt in the universe goes unpaid. If you try to buy early, you’ll pay late. – Ron White
Beyond a certain point, the whole universe becomes a continuous process of initiation. – Robert Anton Wilson
The fact that one can lose one’s sense of self in an ocean of tranquility does not mean that one’s consciousness is immaterial or that it presided over the birth of the universe. – Sam Harris
The universe is so enormous, and we have no idea what’s on the other side of the galaxy. It’s a lovely thing to be able to tap into. I’m definitely not opposed to any supernatural ideas, but I’ve never encountered any. I believe in spirits, but I’ve never seen a ghost. And I believe in Heaven and Hell. – Rose Leslie
We’ve gotta become the Martians. I’m a Martian – I tell you to become Martians. And we’ve gotta go to Mars and civilize Mars and build a whole civilization on Mars and then move out, 300 years from now into the universe. And when we do that, we have a chance of living forever. – Ray Bradbury
It’s hard to imagine anything more interesting than learning how we’re woven into the enormous tapestry of existence. Where did our universe come from? How special is our world, and how special are we? We allocate tens of billions of dollars annually to NASA, NSF and academia in search of the answers. – Seth Shostak
Writing and creating, those things come to me on their own. I feel like… you sort of summon them and it’s like allowing the universe to enter your heart in an entirely different way to what it normally does. It’s like inviting that energy of the universe to enter into your craft in a way where it has a meaning. – Ryan Adams
