Quotes about the Universe:


The universe confounds me! I cannot imagine that such a ‘clock’ can exist without there being a Clockmaker.
Voltaire - Les cabales / 





Philosophy is written in this grand book, which stands continually open before our eyes (I say the Universe), but can not be understood without first learning to comprehend the language and know the characters as it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is impossible to humanly understand a word; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth.
Galileo Galilei / 





The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust - La Prisonnière / 





You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are.
Alan Watts / 





Everything mystical is personal — accordingly it is an elementary variation of the universe.
Novalis - Fragments / 





Nothing is indifferent, nothing is powerless in the universe; an atom can dissolve everything, an atom can save everything
Gérard de Nerval /
