Universe Quotes

A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

~ Wayne Dyer

In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings, and the 'Mind of God' is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace.

~ Michio Kaku

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

~ Grace Slick

The age of the Earth is a hotly debated issue among evangelicals. Old Earthers believe, like most scientists, that the universe is billions of years old. Young Earthers measure the age of the universe in terms of thousands of years.

~ Norman Geisler

The universe is conspiring in every moment to bring me happiness and peace.

~ Marianne Williamson

I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.

~ Stephen Hawking

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

~ Bill Watterson

The universe is an intelligence test.

~ Timothy Leary

I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance.

~ David Bowie

I'm not going to argue with people about the existence of God. I have not the vaguest idea of whether the universe was created by an intelligence.

~ Leonard Susskind

Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.

~ Wayne Dyer

I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

~ David Bowie

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.

~ Seth Shostak

It's possible that there is a guiding intelligence in our universe. I don't see a lot of personal evidence for an interventionist-on-an-individual-basis-deity. I have friends who very much do believe in that. But I don't.

~ Robert J. Sawyer

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

On a very local scale, a refrigerator is the center of the universe. On the inside is food essential to life, and on the outside of the door is a summary of the life events of the household.

~ Robert Fulghum

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

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.

~ Elie Wiesel

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.

~ Richard Dawkins

It is clear that rituals and sacrifices can bring people together, and it may well be that a group that does such things has an advantage over one that does not. But it is not clear why a religion has to be involved. Why are gods, souls, an afterlife, miracles, divine creation of the universe, and so on brought in?

~ Paul Bloom

The idea of an ordered and elegant universe is a lovely one. One worth clinging to. But you don't need religion to appreciate the ordered existence. It's not just an idea, it's reality. We're discovering the hidden orders of the universe every day.

~ Adam Savage

Out of all the ridiculous religion stories - which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous - the silliest one I've ever heard is, 'Yeah, there's this big, giant universe, and it's expanding, and it's all going to collapse on itself, and we're all just here, just 'cuz. Just 'cuz.' That to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.

~ Trey Parker

One idea I explore in my stand-up show is whether, if you try looking at the universe rationally and avoid coping mechanisms like mysticism or religion, you can still be happy knowing you are going to die after a brief time on this spinning ball.

~ Robin Ince

Religion is the belief in an ever-living God, that is, in a Divine Mind and Will ruling the Universe and holding moral relations with mankind.

~ James Martineau

There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.

~ Michael Keaton

Conscious of my own weakness, I can only seek fervently the guidance of the Ruler of the Universe, and, relying on His all-powerful aid, do my best to restore Union and peace to a suffering people, and to establish and guard their liberties and rights.

~ George B. Mcclellan

The universe works in crazy ways. Your good luck will come in waves, and so does your bad, so you have to take the good with the bad and press forward.

~ Nick Cummins

A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us.

~ Lucy Larcom

In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.

~ Alan Watts

In the digital universe, our personal history and its sense of narrative is succeeded by our social networking profile - a snapshot of the current moment. The information itself - our social graph of friends and likes - is a product being sold to market researchers in order to better predict and guide our futures.

~ Douglas Rushkoff

The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we're in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.

~ Vin Diesel

Love makes no sense at all. But it's the most powerful and amazing force in the entire universe.

~ Glenn Close

I was amazed by how much you have to think about as a director. As an actor, you don't have to think about much at all, as it turns out. It's very easy. And then when you step into the director's role, there's this whole universe of stuff that you have to pay attention to that's amazing to me.

~ Misha Collins

Don't believe the hype don't believe what it tells you on your driver's license. You are an extension of the power that created this whole universe.

~ Rupaul

Fortunately, the DC Universe is full enough and replete enough with every kind of character that you could want, that it's not that hard to find the right character. Sometimes it's nothing more than an Easter egg, or a name drop, and sometimes it's someone like 'Deathstroke,' who is a huge part of the DC Universe.

~ Marc Guggenheim

The universe is so unique and perfect that it could not have originated by chance but was divined by flawless, creative design.

~ Fritz Zwicky

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

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

~ Stephen Hawking

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

The evidence in this universe for design - or, if you will, the fine-tuning that cannot be explained by chance or by 'enough time' - is so compelling that the only way around it is to suggest that our universe is only one of an infinite number of universes.

~ Dennis Prager
