We’re probably a couple of freaks who’ve created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that’s the only place where we can survive. – Stephen Malkmus
I like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics. – Steven Wright
If the universe is friendly, then it is indeed aware of us and works to help us. So there are no ‘unfortunate accidents,’ and everything that happens is orchestrated in an elaborate and complicated manner to be of benefit to us. – Srikumar Rao
You can, if you wish, think of it like the universe: Each case is a sun, and all the judges, lawyers and administrative personnel represent planets revolving around the case in fixed orbit, never getting closer. – Sol Wachtler
I can’t speak for the other authors, but what I hoped to achieve was to illuminate certain corners of the Lucas universe that hadn’t yet been explored. – Walter Jon Williams
The crimes that become iconic etch themselves into the collective consciousness because they suggest a frightening truth: that the universe does not rely on cause and effect. – S. J. Rozan
If our inconceivably ancient universe even had any beginning, the conditions determining that beginning must even now be engraved in the atomic weights. – Theodore William Richards
Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind! – William James
Books were the window from which I looked out of a rather meager and decidedly narrow room onto a rich and wonderful universe. I loved the look and feel of books, even the smell… Libraries were treasure houses. I always entered them with a slight thrill of disbelief that all their endless riches were mine for the borrowing. – Zilpha Keatley Snyder
One of the things that I’ve been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually capable of performing things like digital computations? – Seth Lloyd
I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective. – Stephen Hawking
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can’t do better than including everything in the universe that’s potentially available. – Seth Lloyd
What do I have to say to the universe? A soul ought to have something to say to the universe if it’s going to be immortal. – Sheri S. Tepper
Dark matter is interesting. Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. There’s whole swathes of stuff we can’t account for. – Talulah Riley
With the emergence of civilization, the rate of change shifted from hundreds of thousands of years to millennia. With the emergence of science as a way of knowing the universe, the rate of change shifted to centuries. – William Irwin Thompson
On Wall Street he and a few others – how many? three hundred, four hundred, five hundred? had become precisely that… Masters of the Universe. – Tom Wolfe
Before 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities… space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe. – Stephen Hawking
If everybody thinks of something, then it will happen. Your mind is part of the universe. It is connected, you can use its energy. – Yoko Ono
Most of us are raised to believe we are ordinary. The anchor of the universe is present in every child. A parent only needs to guide and step aside and let them fulfill their dharma. Help children remember that they can do or be anything. – Wayne Dyer
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. – Wayne Dyer
Think of the universe as a benevolent parent. A child may want a tub of ice-cream and marshmallows, but a wise parent will give it fruits and vegetables instead. That is not what the child wants, but it is what the child needs. – Srikumar Rao
I think Pedro understands the universe, the same vision I have, about relationships anyhow. – Sonia Braga
This universe can very well be expressed in words and syllables which are not those of one’s mother tongue. – Tahar Ben Jelloun
The number of ways you can live in one lifetime is limitless. So why limit yourself? The sky is NOT the limit. Beyond the universe is. – Suzy Kassem
I’ve learned over the years that when I go to that place of passion within me, there’s no force in the universe that can interfere with my completing a project. – Wayne Dyer
I think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe. – Stephen Hawking
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? – Stephen Hawking
According to ‘M’ theory, ours is not the only universe. Instead, ‘M’ theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing. – Stephen Hawking
