The very god who, according to those who believe in him, made every last electron spin in its orbit everywhere throughout the universe, still cannot write a clear, unmistakable volume of instructions to human beings who are supposed to follow his wis.

Fred Woodworth

Jacquie likes to take natural fibers and have them form a very contained universe. She uses a lot of materials that seem wild and unruly and she asks them to cooperate.

Jackie Borsanyi

The universe is made up of stories, not of atoms.

Muriel Rukeyser

There's been a fairly dramatic expansion of the investor universe. This has happened since the end of 1999.

John Hollyer

There is more stupidity then hydrogen in the universe and it has a longer shelf life.

Frank Zappa

King of the world wouldn't be enough. I'd have to be god of the universe (the Wizard of Oz would suffice).

Joey Skaggs

Those that embrace the entire universe with love, for the most part love nothing, but their narrow selves.

Johann Gottfried Von Herder

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.

Jean Houston

My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we *can* suppose.

J. B. S. Haldane

A severed hand Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars and his history... for contemplation or in fact... Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness, the greatest beauty is Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe. Love that, not man Apart from that, or else you will share man's pit.

Robinson Jeffers

Freewill means that the Universe never judges, never interferes with your own choices - and sees you as a being of equal creative power.

Joy Page

This new regulatory regime for cable could potentially have devastating impacts for our proverbial 500-channel universe of diverse cable offerings. It very well could be the case that government regulation here could destroy that diversity and drive out some of the smaller niche channels out there, which would find a difficult time surviving on their own in a la carte world.

Adam Thierer

Magnetism is one of the Six Fundamental Forces of the Universe, with the other five being Gravity, Duct Tape, Whining, Remote Control, and The Force That Pulls Dogs Toward The Groins Of Strangers.

Dave Barry

When the universe was very young it was smooth and had a uniform distribution but now it is quite clumpy.

David Buckley

This research allows us to know how [planets] form and how they evolve. It makes us better understand our universe.

Jian Ge

We would like to know if active galactic nuclei change over cosmic time. Do black holes feed and grow in the same way over the history of the Universe?

Dr. Niel Brandt

Accidents ruled every cornor of the universe except the chambers of the human heart.

David Guterson

Discovery of new planets will help to understand how the solar system formed and evolved to current status and also how life forms in the solar system and universe.

Jian Ge

We've got some stuff coming up that will really continue to expand the universe more and more and more, and make people realize that this is not just a parody. There's a whole world we're exploring here, and so far there's nothing but (comedic) possibility ahead.

Ben Karlin

There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.

Katherine Anne Porter

You gotta have wisdom, ... To me, wisdom is understanding how God and the universe work.

Todd Brown

The crux... is that the vast majority of the mass of the universe seems to be missing.

William J. Broad

The universe of mortgage lending has gotten to the point where there is a place in it for everybody.

Joe Mays

There are creatures from all over the universe, and they're not all going to look like humans.

Kevin Jones

Over all, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things that he knows of and senses in the universe. . . That's what I would like to do. I think that's one of the greatest things you can do in life and we all try to do it in some way. The musician's is through his music.

John Coltrane

We may explore the universe and find ourselves, or we may explore ourselves and find the universe. It matters not which of these paths we choose.

Diana Robinson

The chance to give our faithful fans something this special was a chance we had to jump at. Re-exploring the Halo universe with some of our favorite comic book artists and writers - indeed, some of the greatest of all time - was a true labor of love and we couldn't have picked a better partner than Marvel to help us achieve our vision.

Harold Ryan

Several years ago we showed that any finite universe in which light had time to 'wrap around' since the Big Bang would have the same pattern of cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuations around pairs of circles.

Neil Cornish

We are now devoting ourselves to science. I am afraid some of us feel that science will give us final solutions - better bases for philosophy, an ideal groundwork for satisfactions, for enjoyment. But it is doubtful whether the mind of man can ever understand the universe. For every puzzle that we uncover and solve, two more appear that were hidden.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

Most humans feel the transcendent temptation, the emotional drive to festoon the universe with large-scale meaning.

Paul Kurtz

The belief that there are other life forms in the universe is a matter of faith. There is not a single shred of evidence for any other life forms, and in forty years of searching, none has been discovered. There is absolutely no evidentiary reason to maintain this belief.

Michael Crichton

It's huge news for the Mac community. It's a real bombshell. Hell has frozen over, black is white, two plus two equals five, the whole fabric of the universe has been ripped open.

Leander Kahney

Even if I knew nothing of the atoms, I would venture to assert on the evidence of the celestial phenomena themselves, supported by many other arguments, that the universe was certainly not created for us by divine power: it is so full of imperfectio.

Lucretius

That's a whole other universe of people, and unfortunately we don't know the size of that group.

Jacqueline King

There was a sense of arrogance [under the previous CEOs]. There was a feeling that the people in Chicago thought they were the center of the universe.

Charles Bofferding

'When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.'

Paulo Coelho

From the announcements in 1998 and subsequent measurements, we now know that the accelerated expansion of the universe did not start until sometime in the last 10 billion years.

Robert Caldwell

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.

Steven Weinberg

You think women's liberation and feminism entitles you to be sexual? Sure! Fine! But you still have to get us and make us the center of your universe. I ask you one question. Which gender do you think invented the thong?

Michael Kimmel

There is no reason that the universe should be designed for our convenience.

John D. Barrow

The two most abundant things in the universe are Hydrogren and stupidity.

Harlan Ellison

Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.

Claude Levi strauss

With our short sight we affect to take a comprehensive view of eternity. Our horizon is the universe.

Paul Laurence Dunbar

Although we are looking back to when the universe was only six percent of its present age, this galaxy has already built up a mass in stars eight times that of the Milky Way.

Richard Ellis

You know, the camera is not meant just to show misery. You can show things that you like about the universe, things that you hate about the universe. It's capable of doing both.

Gordon Parks

I believe that prayer is our powerful contact with the greatest force in the universe.

Loretta Young

Most of the dogmatic religions have exhibited a perverse talent for taking the wrong side on the most important concepts in the material universe, from the structure of the solar system to the origin of man.

George Gaylord Simpson

In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live.

Robert James Waller

The 20th century was all about the origin of matter and the universe, so it seemed useful to go to space and the Moon. There were extraordinary advances and we learnt about atoms and the Big Bang. The 21st century is about the fundamental question of where life comes from.

Asahiko Taira

Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the center of the identity management universe. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

John Clippinger

Man may penetrate the outer reaches of the universe, he may solve the very secret of eternity itself, but for me, the ultimate human experience is to witness the flawless execution of a hit-and-run.

Branch Rickey

Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know, I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that, if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams, it will transcend them.

Henry Norris Russell

The challenge is finding the right opportunity within this huge universe of stocks. Investment mistakes are so costly in the micro-cap area it makes it even more of a challenge to be right.

Bob Kern

My hope is it's a universe, and people drift out and sometimes they drift back in again. Just because someone leaves doesn't mean they can't show up in some other way.

Marc Cherry

We endeavor to stuff the universe into the gullet of an aphorism.

Paul Eldridge

What sets Windows Live Expo apart is that people can set their own search parameters for goods and services. They can define their own marketplace universe.

Garry Wiseman

In the power and splendor of the universe, inspiration waits for the millions to come. Man has only to strive for it. Poems greater than the Iliad, plays greater than Macbeth, stories more engaging than Don Quixote await their seeker and finder.

John Masefield

In 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. Tryon

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

Terry Pratchett

Look at the facts of the world. You see a continual and progressive triumph of the right. I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice. Things refuse to be mismanaged long.

Theodore Parker

Yahoo! Go will make consumers' personally relevant information available to them anytime across their mobile phone, TV or personal computer. By making Yahoo! Go open, we are giving consumers the ability to easily access not only the Yahoo! services they find most vital, but also the universe of information available from across the web.

Marco Boerries

To really get to the digital universe, we have to go beyond the Earth Internet and [think about] the interplanetary network.

David Tennenhouse

I am not a quitter. I will fight until I drop. It is just a matter of having some faith in the fact that as long as you are able to draw breath in the universe, you have a chance.

Cicely Tyson

No two people share exactly the same universe. Every universe creates its own world.

Gaelic Proverb

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is god, just, and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but never less, dazzaling, passionate, and eternal form.

Plato

With this new data, theories about the early universe have just taken their first exam, and they passed with flying colors.

David Spergel

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything.

Plato

I was afraid to make love to her without the conversations and laughter from the false universe playing in our ears, because I didn't want to get to know her very well, and didn't want to be bridging any silences with our eyes.

Denis Johnson

Dan was such an important part of DC's successes in the 1990s. We're extremely happy to have him back with us, where he'll bring that same talent and enthusiasm to his new projects and the new direction of the DC Universe.

Dan Didio

I think that everything in the universe is connected. When you have the heart and soul of a poet, I guess you can find the poetical side of anything that deals with the search of life, even of science.

Alicia Ghiragossian

At that point we either had found the most distant burst in the universe, or there was dust in the way.

Daniel Reichart

It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.

John Andrew Holmes

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Buddha

It has been rightly said that nothing is unimportant, nothing powerless in the universe; a single atom can dissolve everything, and save everything! What terror! There lies the eternal distinction between good and evil.

Gerard De Nerval

Assuming that it holds up -- and I believe it will -- this is a theory that both greatly clarifies the way that most stars in the universe probably form, and also ties the properties of the solar system and Earth itself back to the conditions in the larger astrophysical environment in which we formed.

Jeff Hester

Star gazing is a connection to humanity's earliest curiosity about our place in the universe. It is practically impossible to see the stars from most cities, but now, clear night vistas in our national parks are an important resource that is literally fading from sight.

Thomas Kiernan

The big bang would have created zillions of tiny dark energy stars out of the vacuum. Our universe is pervaded by dark energy, with tiny dark energy stars peppered across it.

George Chapline

If this universe is really shrinking, we'll be together in time.

Keisha Sugababes

There's chaos to the universe. But there's also drawn lines of the constellations for us to make some sense.

Anik Fournier

I believe that God created the universe. What I don't know is whether that evidence can be tested objectively. I ask myself the tough questions.

Guillermo Gonzalez

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

J. Michael Straczynski

Physicists have known that dark energy could become negative and the universe could collapse sometime in the distant future, perhaps a trillion years. But now we see that we might be not in the beginning, but in the middle of the life cycle of our universe.

Andrei Linde

Less energy in a given volume tells you that the universe should be expanding slower, but because it is not, what that means is that energy is somehow increasing.

Hitoshi Murayama

Nick had a lot of ideas. He was full of plans to change the universe.

Adam Gollner

I didn't want to make a period film; I wanted it to be set almost in the present, but in a kind of unsettling parallel universe.

Lucile Hadzihalilovic

I can't wait until Kyle gets his house, (and) I know he's going to get his house. I don't think it's going to take him very many trades at all, and I'd love to think that's how the universe works.

Jody Gnant

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Arthur C. Clarke

It is hard not to see the theological overtones in the movie... Beauty, goodness, love and devotion are all part of nature, built into the DNA of the universe.

Maggie Gallagher

An orderly universe is one described by mathematics.

Commander Majwalter Bradley

The mathematician, carried along on his flood of symbols, dealing apparently with purely formal truths, may still reach results of endless importance for our description of the physical universe.

Karl Pearson

The universe will be a very lonely place to look at.

Robert Kirshner

In hard-core science fiction in which characters are responding to a change in environment, caused by nature or the universe or technology, what readers want to see is how people cope, and so the character are present to cope, or fail to cope.

James Gunn

[Still, the Supreme Court is another kind of universe.] If there were an ad for the job, it would be, 'Inside work, no heavy lifting,' ... The justices hear only the cases they want to hear, write only what they want to write. It's great.

Mark Tushnet

These cards will feature designs incorporated into the stained glass patterns that will speak to the wonderful graphics we've come to expect from the Star Wars universe. It's a fun technology and allows us to feature the characters in a new and exciting way.

Matthew Saunders

People thought ... the universe was just coasting ... Instead, we found it is actually speeding up.

Robert Kirshner

The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.

Robert A. Heinlein

A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.

Corita Kent

Such as a universe that is not made of dead, mute, inert matter.

Dave Freer

PRAY, v. To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.

Ambrose Bierce

Russians have always seen themselves as second to some other power. The Chinese don't see themselves as second to anybody. They may understand that they're not as economically developed as we are, but they regard their proper role as being at the center of the universe.

Hedrick Smith

We think we are seeing the collective light from millions of the first objects to form in the universe. The objects disappeared eons ago, yet their light is still traveling across the universe.

Alexander Kashlinsky

Force never moves in a straight line, but always in a curve vast as the universe, and therefore eventually returns whence it issued forth, but upon a higher arc, for the universe has progressed since it started.

Kabbalah

One idea that I toyed around with is that dark energy is a complicated network of rubber sheets. If you stretch them, you have to provide force and because of it, the sheet gains energy. The universe expansion is much like stretching this network of sheets, which increases energy.

Hitoshi Murayama

The point is that profound but contradictory ideas may exist side by side, if they are constructed from different materials and methods. and have different purposes. Each tells us something important about where we stand in the universe, and it is foolish to insist that they must despise each other.

Neil Postman

Let no one underestimate the need of pity. We live in a stony universe whose hard, brilliant forces rage fiercely.

Theodore Dreiser

God is a character, a real and consistent being, or He is nothing. If God did a miracle He would deny His own nature and the universe would simply blow up, vanish, become nothing.

Joyce Cary

If God has spoken, why is not the universe convinced?

Paul henri Thiry

Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the universe.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Frank Herbert

We're sort of the soundtrack to these wonderful, wonderful images, ... The subject is the universe, but we interpret that loosely.

Carolyn Anderson

Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves.

Herbert W. Boyer

Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.

John Osborne

The thought is not to poke this in the eye of Calgary, saying we're the homophobic center of the universe, and now we have to prove the opposite.

Linda Hunter

Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment.

Harlan Ellison

So much of what we think we know about the universe rests on the ages and properties of stars. But there is still a great deal we don't know about them.

Tim Bedding

This was a massive star that lived fast and died young. This star was probably quite different from the kind we see today, the type that only could have existed in the early universe.

David Burrows

Universe reveals plan to self-destruct.

Ryan Schreiber

I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity. Every day I'm at work and I look out at the ocean and see the crystal blue waves crashing on the beach, I just look up and thank the universe for putting me here.

Daniel Dae Kim

This leads to the question of how many places there are in the universe where life could potentially have developed.

Horst Uwe Keller

That's something we're looking at as part of this change. I think if the audience values our content more and more, then in an evolving universe... you're going to set a price against that. There's an argument that there is an opportunity to explore there.

D. James Baker

Exploration of the anti-world's mysteries is a crucial step towards our understanding of the early universe, and how we came to be.

Raymond Orbach

It is my supposition that the Universe in not only queerer than we imagine, is queerer than we can imagine.

J. B. S. Haldane

Are you ready to have your mind blown apart by the most awesome show in the universe. ... Tonight is your night to rage against the machine.

Jack Black

Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it.

Max Frisch

Home is the wallpaper above the bed, the family dinner table, the church bells in the morning, the bruised shins of the playground, the small fears that come with dusk, the streets and squares and monuments and shops that constitute one's first universe.

Henry Anatole Grunwald

I always want to write erotic music... Not only about the love between men and women, but in a much more universal sense - about the sensuality of the mechanism of the universe... about life.

Toru Takemitsu

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

Brian Greene

We are looking forward to joining forces with Stan and Bruce to search the universe for these fearless competitors. At some point in their lives, everyone has wanted to break out and be heroic, and now is the chance for a chosen few to shed their every-day identities and truly express their inner superhero.

Mark Stern

For these stars to have produced a signal this strong, they had to be very massive stars, much bigger than what we see in the Universe.

Alexander Kashlinsky

Globular clusters are old and give us a limit on the age of the universe. The universe couldn't be younger than the oldest star cluster.

Carlton Pryor

As far as DNA testing, we're just at the beginning of that universe. Pretty soon, though, we'll know whether someone is predisposed to cancer, alcoholism, obesity, baldness and who knows what else.

Alan Milstein

Nothing in the entire universe ever perishes, believe me, but things vary, and adopt a new form. The phrase 'being born' is used for beginning to be something different from what one was before, while 'dying' means ceasing to be the same. Though this thing may pass into that, and that into this, yet the sums of things remains unchanged.

Ovid

I'm like the universe; either expanding or contracting at any given moment. The most that I had put on was about 35, 36 pounds, and I've taken all of that off.

Sean Astin

Only through art can we get outside of ourselves and know another's view of the universe.

Marcel Proust

When you affirm your own rightness in the universe, then you co-operate with others easily and automatically as part of your own nature. You, being yourself, helps others be themselves. Because you recognize your own uniqueness you will not need to dominate others, nor cringe before them.

Jane Roberts

When you are as large as we are you look just like the universe.

Joe Zimmerman

Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe.

Kurt Vonnegut

Nothing is accidental in the universe -- this is one of my Laws of Physics -- except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity.

Joyce Carol Oates

Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.

John Steinbeck

The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden. Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.

Octave Mirbeau

Our ongoing partnership with IBM and investment in their technology reflects our commitment to the single game universe standard that has put us here. To meet the increased demands of a rapidly growing subscriber base, we will continue to scale our infrastructure to allow for future growth and to continue providing a high-quality gaming experience for all of our customers.

Hilmar Pétursson

Living as you do in New York, the navel of the universe, it is easy to confuse the Midwest and the South.

John Fleischman

It broadcasts your availability to the work 'universe' without any of the reserve normally found in job-hunting encounters.

Margaret Stead

The universe of stocks we'll contemplate buying are growth companies.

Stephen Silverman

From the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician.

James Jeans

These things will show how they are working to make PCs fit better into the home entertainment universe.

Dean Mccarron

West Virginia is tremendously important to us. This is, for us, the center of the coal universe.

David Garman

The one-eyed view of our universe says you must not look far afield for problems. Such problems may never arrive. Instead tend to the wolf within your fences. The packs ranging outside may not even exist.

Frank Herbert

In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe.

David Bohm

As long as our brain is a mystery, the universe, the reflection of the structure of the brain will also be a mystery.

Santiago Ramón Y Cajal

You can't think about how people will perceive you or your character. All you can do is focus on your work. The rest is up to the universe. I've been acting for 16 years. I've done 55 movies and, in all seriousness, there's maybe five that are good and the rest are crap.

Robert Patrick

Reason is the substance of the universe. The design of the world is absolutely rational.

Hebbel

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Lao tzu

RESPIRATOR, n. An apparatus fitted over the nose and mouth of an inhabitant of London, whereby to filter the visible universe in its passage to the lungs.

Ambrose Bierce

You can call it the 'Perfect Moment' when the universe aligns and the music in your head actually matches the music outside and all is well.

Hugh Elliott

In this profound silence of the room I hear Nature breathing; I feel the stars slipping though the dark, very tight, bounded masses of matter. The Universe is beating its life through my heart.

Mariana Fulger

No storyteller has ever been able to dream up anything as fantastically unlikely as what really does happen in this mad Universe.

Lazarus Long

If Indonesia proceeds with reforms like they're doing right now, we still see a chance in the medium term that they belong to the double-B investment universe again.

Nicolas Schlotthauer

"I call attention to the dark side maybe a little bit for mutual catharsis but also to try to paint the universe as it is - both sides of it.

John Shirley

As we continue to explore the universe, we are proud that NASA's pioneering efforts keep fueling American creativity, innovation and technology development. This new product is yet another example of the additional dividends Americans reap from their investment in space exploration.

David Morse

This map directly addresses the relationship of people to the natural world. It directly influenced the industrial revolution, geology, biology and evolution. It forced people to think about our place in the universe.

Tracy Gregg

People tend to believe that things in the universe are potentially interconnected. In a complicated world, magic gives people a sense of control.

Phil Stevens

There's also the question of how large the zone in the universe is where life can develop.

Horst Uwe Keller

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.

Joseph Campbell

This is the way I think we'll explore the universe. We won't explore it by sending human beings out there.

Robert Park

Spiritual love is a position of standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.

Christina Baldwin

We believe Oracle's shortfall is an omen for other names in our universe.

Gretchen Teagarden

Tomorrow's God says that every church is 'his church,' and every faith is 'her faith,' and every soul is God's soul, because it shares the same soul with God! ... And no person or living thing in the universe stands outside the community of God.

Neale Donald Walsch

That minister of ministers, Imagination, gathers up - The undiscovered universe, Like jewels in a jasper cup.

John Davidson

Our [investing] universe may actually be greater than a technology fund.

Paul Cook

The human's place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution, the product of our biological inheritance.

Walter Gilbert

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

Carl Zwanzig

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

Einstein said God doesn't play dice with the universe, but I don't know--maybe not as a whole, but I think he gets a pretty big kick out of messing in peoples' back yards.

Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde

NEWTONIAN, adj. Pertaining to a philosophy of the universe invented by Newton, who discovered that an apple will fall to the ground, but was unable to say why. His successors and disciples have advanced so far as to be able to say when.

Ambrose Bierce

Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.

Albert Schweitzer

It really opens a completely new window on the universe. It tells us that we're going to be seeing gravitational waves in the near future, in addition to knowing how stars die and how the material that we are made of and the earth is made of came to be and how life came to be possible.

Don Lamb

[The Captain] is basically every failed captain zero that's ever walked the Marvel Universe at one point or another.

Joe Quesada

The motivation is either an interest in space, astronomy, science fiction or being at one with the universe. Some see it as a spiritual choice.

Charles Chafer

Listen; there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.

E e cummings

We are very excited about partnering with Microsoft to share the 'Viva Piñata' universe with the world. The potent combination of the Microsoft Game Studios and 4Kids will ensure that the 'Viva Piñata' world, including the video game, television series and merchandising program, attracts a worldwide audience.

Alfred R. Kahn

Was a chance to expand myself and deepen my connection with the universe and with God.

Forest Whitaker

To the sound itself the conductor adds the italics and punctuation of gesture, of strained arms, of startling tautness of the shoulders, of brisk nod, of hands flung apart in some wild appeal to the universe.

Christopher Andreae

The universe is not hostile, nor yet is it friendly. It is simply indifferent.

J. H. Holmes

It becomes us in humility to make our devout acknowledgments to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored.

James Polk

There was a quaintness to his 1960s (cartoon) that some people felt was open to interpretation. He has always been one of the more powerful characters in the DC Universe, but he has not always been portrayed in that fashion.

Dan Didio

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Frank Zappa

We think the compliance and operational risk management concept is of critical and increasing importance ... in today's highly regulated environment. ESS has built a leading position in an important category within the broader enterprise software universe, and they have an experienced management team that can successfully take the company to its next level of growth.

Jeremy Wolfe

I say the Intelligent Design-evolution debate misses the point. It trivializes God and it trivializes science. The universe is like the hand of God. The world is God's body.

Michael Dowd
