Universe Quotes

You know, I'm not saying the universe is evil, but it sure has a nasty sense of humor.

In everyone's life there comes a time, when the universe opens itself for just a few moments to show us what's truly possible.

Copy quote

Interconnection, Relationship

No matter who you are, engaging in the quest to discover where and how things began tends to induce emotional fervor—as if knowing the beginning bestows upon you some form of fellowship with, or perhaps governance over, all that comes later. So what is true for life itself is no less true for the universe: knowing where you came from is no less important than knowing where you are going.

Copy quote

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Truth

I'd give anything to hear
You say it one more time,
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes.

Sleeping at last

Saturn

The universe is moral, but does it share your views on morality?

Tonight, if I reach my hand to yours
Can you hold that hand?
I'll become you
You just have to look at my galaxies
Be showered with all those stars
I'll give you my world.

We are all one whole of the Universe...
and we are all, to some extent, a part of the universal project,
depending on the direction of our thoughts.
How much love you send to the universe
she returns the same amount to you.
Love attracts love, and hate attracts the same hatred.
A tear of your soul glows in one of the rains...
In every breath of flowers your impulse of feelings pulsates...
In every gust of wind, the serene flight of your thoughts is heard.
Let these wings of meditation support your spirit and your state of Soul!

Love

… man has flown in the face of everything he knew time after time. He knew, not too many hundreds of years ago, that the Earth was the centre of the universe. He knew, less than thirty years ago, that man could never travel to the other planets. He knew, a hundred years ago, that the atom was indivisible. And what have we here—the knowledge that time never can be understood or manipulated, that it is impossible for a plant to be intelligent. I tell you, sir...

I have to believe there's some other life force out there. I don't know in what form. But we can't have all these galaxies and universes without something going on.

The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.

Copy quote

Steven Weinberg

Life is a moment in space,
When the dream is gone it's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye,
But down inside you know we never know why

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here.

Yes, the universe had a beginning. Yes, the universe continues to evolve. And yes, every one of our body's atoms is traceable to the big bang and to the thermonuclear furnace within high-mass stars. We are not simply in the universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the universe to figure itself out — and we have only just begun.

— Jennifer could conceivably encounter... her future self. The consequences of that could be disastrous.
— Doc, what do you mean?
— I foresee two possibilities. One, coming face to face with herself 30 years older... would put her into shock, and she'd simply pass out, or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe. Granted, that's a worst-case scenario. The destruction might, in fact, be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.
— Well, that's a relief.
