The Universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.: Eden Philpotts
We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
You have to believe that the universe will provide.: Steve Crosby
To endure oneself may be the hardest task in the universe. You cannot hire a wise man or any other intellect to solve it for you. There's no writ of inquest or calling of witness to provide answers. No servant or disciple can dress the wound. You dress it yourself or continue bleeding for all to see.: Frank Herbert (1920 - 1986)
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapour, a drop of water, suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662), quoted by Rebecca West in BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: A JOURNEY THROUGH YUGOSLAVIA, 1940
That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.: Marvin, _Life, the Universe, and Everything_ by Douglas Adams
The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.: Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
[F]or academic men to be happy, the universe would have to take shape. All of philosophy has no other goal: it is a matter of giving a frock coat to what is, a mathematical frock coat. On the other hand, affirming that the universe resembles nothing and is only formless amounts to saying that the universe is something like a spider or spit.: Battaille
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 (1933 - )
