In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. -- Douglas AdamsThere is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -- Douglas AdamsI'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown. -- Woody AllenThe difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. -- Woody AllenWhat do I dislike about death? Must be the hours. -- Woody AllenI'm worried that the universe will soon need replacing. It's not holding a charge. -- Edward ChiltonProgramming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. -- Rich CookA human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. -- Albert EinsteinTechnology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it. -- Max FrischThere is a coherent plan in the universe, though I don't know what it's a plan for. -- Fred HoyleMaybe this world is another planet's hell. -- Aldous HuxleyMy theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. -- Christopher MorleyThe two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. But not in that order. -- Brian PickrellIn answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time. -- Edward P. TryonThe surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. -- Bill Watterson, in his comic strip Calvin and HobbesDuct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.... -- Carl Zwanzig |
