Quotes about cosmos
Mehmet Murat ildan -
Cosmos and its stars poet and his poetry!
Laurie Perez - The Look of Amie Martine
This is no ordinary gallery a stellar infinity impeccably well-organized to harbor spontaneity.
Arthur C. Clarke - Rendezvous with Rama
The meteorites of 1908 and 1947 had struck uninhabited wilderness but by the end of the twenty-first century there was no region left on Earth that could be safely used for celestial target practice.
Psyche Roxas-Mendoza -
Beware! Balance rules the cosmos. It is not concerned with good or bad. You can be struck by misfortune and be buried in grief if that is what it takes to restore the imbalance you have wrought unto the world.
Ann Druyan -
As I looked out at the glittering waters of the Pacific I was seeing for Carl. He knew that it's not for any one generation to see the completed picture. That's the point. The picture is never completed. There is always so much more that remains to be discovered.
Suzy Kassem - Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
Everybody has a little bit of the sun and moon in them. Everybody has a little bit of man, woman, and animal in them. Darks and lights in them. Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them
Michael Sanders - Ayahuasca: An Executive's Enlightenment
Every time I gaze at stars above, I feel small, big, infinite and connected all at the same time, and tonight on the Amazon is no different.
Michael Sanders - Ayahuasca: An Executive's Enlightenment
I sit up and stare with eyes closed, perceiving the infinity of this dimension, so grateful to experience this, comfortable with the idea of this journey either ending shortly or continuing forever.
Philip K. Dick -
The problem with introspection is that it has no end.
Tom Althouse - The Frowny Face Cow
We are the reflections for the stars to gaze upon, upon a sea of glass.
Jasleen Kaur Gumber -
So it became,the law of universe,to have the,profoundest,of the words,cloaked in the,darkest of the masks.
Carl Sagan - The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past
Mircea Eliade -
It would be frightening to think that in all the cosmos, which is so harmonious, so complete and equal to itself, that only human life is happening randomly, that only one's destiny lacks meaning.
Jeffrey Tayler -
Aging and the prospect of dying by no means enhance the attractiveness of fictitious comforts to come in paradise, or the veracity of malicious myths about hellfire and damnation. Fear and feeblemindedness cannot be credibly pressed into service to support fantastic claims about the cosmos and our ultimate destiny.Whether one would even consider turning to religion in advanced years has much to do with upbringing, which makes all the more important standing up to the presumptions of the religiou
João Mendes - and the Cosmos
Nature is sound in many forms and states of existence.
N.T. Wright -
When God “saves” people in this life, by working through His Spirit to bring them to faith, and by leading them to follow Jesus in discipleship, prayer, holiness, hope and love, such people are designed – it isn’t too strong a word – to be a sign and foretaste of what God wants to do for the entire cosmos. What’s more, such people are not just to be a sign and foretaste of that ultimate “salvation”; they are to be part of the means by which God makes this happen in both the present and the futur
Michael Sanders - Ayahuasca: An Executive's Enlightenment
Hmm. I think love is about loving all things, to treat each and every thing and every one as a sovereign being that’s free to make its own choices.
Paracelsus - Paracelsus: Selected Writings
Medicine rests upon four pillars—philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics. The first pillar is the philosophical knowledge of earth and water; the second, astronomy, supplies its full understanding of that which is of fiery and airy nature; the third is an adequate explanation of the properties of all the four elements—that is to say, of the whole cosmos—and an introduction into the art of their transformations; and finally, the fourth shows the physician those virtues which must stay with him
Alberto Caeiro - The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro
It’s an already inside outside,The philosophers say it’s the soulBut it’s not the soul: it’s the animal or the man itselfIn its way of existing.
Carl Sagan - Cosmos
The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.
Alberto Caeiro - The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro
Night doesn’t fall for my eyesBut my idea of the night is that it falls for my eyes.Beyond my thinking and having any thoughtsThe night falls concretelyAnd the shining of stars exists like it had weight.
Dejan Stojanovic - The Sun Watches the Sun
Cosmos is God, who whispered the syllable of life.
Alberto Caeiro - The Keeper of Sheep
What does this think about that?Nothing thinks about anything.Does the earth have consciousness of its stones and plants?If it did, it would be people. . .Why am I worrying about this?If I think about these things,I’ll stop seeing trees and plantsAnd stop seeing the EarthFor only seeing my thoughts...I’ll get unhappy and stay in the dark.And so, without thinking, I have the Earth and the Sky.
Alberto Caeiro - The Keeper of Sheep
All the evil in the world comes from us bothering with each other,Wanting to do good, wanting to do evil.Our soul and the sky and the earth are enough for us.To want more is to lose this, and be unhappy.
Alberto Caeiro - The Keeper of Sheep
I pass and I stay, like the Universe.
Alberto Caeiro - The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro
Between what i see in a field and what I see in another fieldThere passes for a moment the figure of a man.His steps go with “him” in the same reality,But I look at him and them, and they’re two things:The “man” goes walking with his ideas, false and foreign,And his steps go with the ancient system that makes legs walk.I see him from a distance without any opinion at all.How perfect that he is in him what he is — his body,His true reality which doesn’t have desires or hopes,But muscles and the s
Alberto Caeiro - The Keeper of Sheep
The man stopped talking and was looking at the sunset.But what does someone who hates and loves want with a sunset?
Ann Druyan -
It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can't give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality.
Amit Ray - Nonviolence: The Transforming Power
There is a God part in you. The consciousness. The pure Self. Learn to listen the voice of that Power.
Amit Ray - Enlightenment Step by Step
Remember your connection with the cosmos. Remember your connection with the infinity and that remembrance will give you the freedom.
Deepak Chopra -
Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.
Carl Sagan - Cosmos
The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.
Brian Cox -
We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.
R.J. Anderson - Ultraviolet
I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose.
Ramana Pemmaraju -
Only when you go beyond Mind, will you be able to respect the energy that inhabits us; until then you will either exploit others with your energy or will deplete your energy, leading a purposeless life!
Alaric Hutchinson - Living Peace
Living in the present moment is the recurring baptism of the soul, forever purifying every new day with a new you.
Amit Ray - Mindfulness Meditation for Corporate Leadership and Management
You are not alone in the struggles of life. Entire cosmos is with you. It evolves through the way you face and overcome challenges of life. Use everything in your advantage.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution
... and I submit to you, that science, scientific discovery, especially cosmic discovery, does not become mainstream until the artist embraces the fruits of those discoveries.
Virginia Woolf - To the Lighthouse
In the flailing light they all looked sharp-edged and ethereal and divided by great distances
Umberto Eco - Postscript to the Name of the Rose
I discovered ... that a novel has nothing to do with words in the first instance. Writing a novel is a cosmological matter, like the story told by Genesis (we all have to choose our role models, as Woody Allen puts it).
Albert Einstein -
Your question is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows
Carl Sagan - The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God
I would suggest that science is, at least in my part, informed worship.
Carlos Castañeda - The Active Side of Infinity
We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The Predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don't do so... I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! "This was an energetic fact for the sorcere
Craig D. Lounsbrough -
God’s genius is as wide as the cosmos, while by comparison our intelligence can find room on the head of a pin.
Jasleen Kaur Gumber -
It was in the horizon of existence, that the Big Bang must have created our souls, we loved each other like the plane of time doesn't hold a fleck of control over us.
Deepak Chopra -
Our biological rhythms are the symphony of the cosmos, music embedded deep within us to which we dance, even when we can't name the tune.
Vikrmn - Corpkshetra
Black and white, vacuum of cosmos vis-à-vis occupancy of skies.
Oli Anderson - Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness
The human condition is essentially the conflict between the human need for control and a universe that provides little if any of it. Once we accept this and get into the flow of life, we are free and, paradoxically, able to get better results.
João Mendes - and the Cosmos
Nature is made of vibrations of Love.
Amit Ray - Om Chanting and Meditation
Om is not just a sound or vibration. It is not just a symbol. It is the entire cosmos, whatever we can see, touch, hear and feel. Moreover, it is all that is within our perception and all that is beyond our perception. It is the core of our very existence. If you think of Om only as a sound, a technique or a symbol of the Divine, you will miss it altogether. Om is the mysterious cosmic energy that is the substratum of all the things and all the beings of the entire universe. It is an eternal son
Marcelo Gleiser - A Tear at the Edge of Creation: A Radical New Vision for Life in an Imperfect Universe
Creation, in all its splendor and misery, in all the beauty and ugliness of its myriad forms, is how God manifests His presence in time. Creation is God in time.
Carl Sagan - Cosmos
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
Suzy Kassem - Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
CIRCLES OF LIFEEverythingTurns,Rotates,Spins,Circles,Loops,Pulsates,Resonates,AndRepeats.CirclesOf life,Born fromPulsesOf light,VibrateToBreathe,WhileSpiralingOutwardsForInfinityThroughThe lensOf time,And intoA seaOf starsAndLucidDreams.Poetry by Suzy Kassem
C. JoyBell C. -
We are fast moving into something, we are fast flung into something like asteroids cast into space by the death of a planet, we the people of earth are cast into space like burning asteroids and if we wish not to disintegrate into nothingness we must begin to now hold onto only the things that matter while letting go of all that doesn't. For when all of our dust and ice deteriorates into the cosmos we will be left only with ourselves and nothing else. So if you want to be there in the end, today
H.P. Lovecraft -
You have been my friend in the cosmos; you have been my only friend on this planet - the only soul to sense and seek for me within the repellent form which lies on this couch. We shall meet again - perhaps in the shining mists of Orion’s Sword, perhaps on a bleak plateau in prehistoric Asia. Perhaps in unremembered dreams tonight; perhaps in some other form an aeon hence, when the solar system shall have been swept away.
Amit Ray - Beautify your Breath - Beautify your Life
Breathing is our participation with the cosmic dance. When our breath is in harmony, cosmos nourishes us in every sense.
Trevor Driggers -
Maybe if we just lay beneath the stars long enough, all our worries will dissipate into the cosmos. And we can lay there motionless, yet sailing across the stars.
Amit Ray - Walking the Path of Compassion
In this vast cosmic orchestra, peace is the music of every heart. Our glory lies in understanding, listening and honoring that music.
R.J. Anderson - Ultraviolet
I heard the universe as an oratorio sung by a master choir of stars, accompanied by the orchestra of the planets and the percussion of satellites and moons. The aria they performed was a song to break the heart, full of tragic dissonance and deferred hope, and yet somewhere beneath it all was a piercing refrain of glory, glory, glory. And I sensed that not only the grand movements of the cosmos, but everything that had happened in my life, was a part of that song. Even the hurts that seemed most
Jeffrey R. Anderson - The Nature of Things - Navigating Everyday Life with Grace
When I feel clumsy or lost, I remind myself that nature, including me, was created by a a far wiser mind than mine. There is something in the cosmos - God, Spirit, Consciousness, Life Itself, call It what you will - that created and orchestrates nature, and did a pretty good job of it. Nature might just know what It's doing. Even when I don't.
Thomas Nagel -
The great cognitive shift is an expansion of consciousness from the perspectival form contained in the lives of particular creatures to an objective, world-encompassing form that exists both individually and intersubjectively. It was originally a biological evolutionary process, and in our species it has become a collective cultural process as well. Each of our lives is a part of the lengthy process of the universe gradually waking up and becoming aware of itself.
Thomas Nagel - Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False
I am drawn to a fourth alternative, natural teleology, or teleological bias, as an account of the existence of the biological possibilities on which natural selection can operate. I believe that teleology is a naturalistic alternative that is distinct from all three of the other candidate explanations: chance, creationism, and directionless physical law. To avoid the mistake that White finds in the hypothesis of nonintentional bias, teleology would have to be restrictive in what it makes likely,
Alastair Reynolds - Blue Remembered Earth
Consider all the inanimate matter in the universe, all the dumb atoms, all the mindless molecules, all the oblivious dust grains and pebbles and rocks and iceballs and worlds and stars, all the unthinking galaxies and superclusters, wheeling through the oblivious time-haunted megaparsecs of the cosmic supervoid. In all that immensity, she had somehow contrived to BE a human being, a microscopically tiny, cosmically insignificant bundle of information-processing systems, wired to a mind more stru
Thomas Ligotti - The Conspiracy Against the Human Race
We are only chance visitants to this jungle of blind mutations. The natural world existed when we did not, and it will continue to exist long after we are gone. The supernatural crept into life only when the door of consciousness was opened in our heads. The moment we stepped through that door, we walked out on nature. Say what we will about it and deny it till we die--we are blighted by our knowing what is too much to know and too secret to tell one another if we are to stride along our streets
Criss Jami - Killosophy
Labeled fools to the world are geniuses to the cosmos.
Waqas Rabbani -
When you look at the stars.. your eyes are time machines
Abdullah Ali - Flashover
When I was little, my mother used to tell me that the universe was made in sparks. Would that mean that at the beginning, someone had clacked two cosmic stones together?.
Neil deGrasse Tyson -
The more of us that feel the universe, the better off we will be in this world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson -
Science literacy is an important part of what it is to be an informed citizen of society.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
Science, enabled by engineering, empowered by NASA, tells us not only that we are in the universe but that the universe is in us. And for me, that sense of belonging elevates, not denigrates, the ego.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
I look forward to the day when the solar system becomes our collective backyard—explored not only with robots, but with the mind, body, and soul of our species.
Mehmet Murat ildan -
There are no mighty mountains for the universe, because there are no mountains for the universe, no rivers, no sun and no clouds! There is only universe for the universe, just a single entity!
Mehmet Murat ildan -
When you are watching the universe, you are watching yourself! Wherever you visit in the universe, you visit yourself!
Albert Einstein -
Matter tells space how to curve, space tells matter how to move.
Terence McKenna - True Hallucinations
The ultimate singularity is the Big Bang, which physicists believe was responsible for the birth of the universe. We are asked by science to believe that the entire universe sprang from nothingness, at a single point and for no discernible reason. This notion is the limit case for credulity. In other words, if you can believe this, you can believe anything. It is a notion that is, in fact, utterly absurd, yet terribly important. Those so-called rational assumptions flow from this initial impossi
Mehmet Murat ildan -
A man stroking a dog’s head means the universe is stroking the universe; a child playing with a little dog means the universe is playing with the universe! If the universe is a theatre play, then we can be sure that there is only one player: The universe itself! Everything we see is the same player!
Carl Sagan -
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
Jennifer DeLucy -
You must know, the day your star exploded into my universe, you altered it all. You exposed my light and my dark, settled into my existence and there you will be and glow in the matter of my heart, long after light is only a memory. You have changed things for always.
Bangambiki Habyarimana - The Great Pearl of Wisdom
I don't know the beginnings and the end of all things? But apparently most people do.
Roshan Sharma -
Your inner natural flow of life connects you with the natural flow of life that takes place in the universe.
Iain M. Banks -
All you ever were was a little bit of the universe, thinking to itself.
Victor J. Stenger - God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist
The complex order we now observe [in the universe] could *not* have been the result of any initial design built into the universe at the so-called creation. The universe preserves no record of what went on before the big bang. The Creator, if he existed, left no imprint. Thus he might as well have been nonexistent.
Seneca -
Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
GoodQuotes -
Look at the stars. It won't fix the economy. It won't stop wars. It won't give you flat abs, or even help you figure out your relationship. But it's important. It helps you to remember that you and your problems are both infinitesimally small and conversely, that you are a piece of an amazing and vast universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
Some people think emotionally more often than they think politically. Some think politically more often than they think rationally. Others never think rationally about anything at all.No judgment implied. Just an observation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
Science literacy is being plugged into the forces that power the universe. There is no excuse for thinking that the Sun, which is a million times the size of Earth, orbits Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
If the whole world shared such experiences, we would then have common dreams and everybody could begin thinking about tomorrow. And if everybody thinks about tomorrow, then someday we can visit the sky together.
Michel Reitsma -
Majority of people find that nature is anything that walks and grows on planet Earth, astronomers have found that this nature stretches way beyond our atmosphere as far as we can see in to the Universe.
Munia Khan -
all hopes there, so close to each other,are pulled into the void every night;when a band of pale twinkles milking the wayacross the divine breadth of skywhere every heart belongs.- From the poem "The Universe In Blossom
Zack Love - Stories and Scripts: an Anthology
Night had fallen, and Diane admired the deep sky behind Steve's calm countenance. They looked into each other's eyes again and felt the spark and excitement of discovery. As if to celebrate the perfect, life-enabling distance of the earth from the sun, Diane and Steve kissed again.""-The Grand Unified Story (a Short Story) from Stories and Scripts: an Anthology
Octavio Paz - The Blue Bouquet
At first I couldn't see anything. I fumbled along the cobblestone street. I lit a cigarette. Suddenly the moon appeared from behind a black cloud, lighting a white wall that was crumbled in places. I stopped, blinded by such whiteness. Wind whistled slightly. I breathed the air of the tamarinds. The night hummed, full of leaves and insects. Crickets bivouacked in the tall grass. I raised my head: up there the stars too had set up camp. I thought that the universe was a vast system of signs, a co
Abhijit Naskar - What is Mind?
Current research in any field of Science has not yet reached the point where we could start exploring the existential question regarding God as a Supreme Entity driving causality in the universe. However, as modern Neuroscience progresses further and gets more advanced, we shall get to dive deeper into the physiological processes underneath the Qualia of God in human mind. What we have seen so far through our studies in Neurotheology, is that it is not God himself/herself/itself, rather it is pe
Jeffrey Tayler -
I fear no hell, just as I expect no heaven. Nabokov summed up a nonbeliever’s view of the cosmos, and our place in it, thus: “The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.” The 19th-century Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle put it slightly differently: “One life. A little gleam of Time between two Eternities.” Though I have many memories to cherish, I value the present, my time on earth, those aroun
Erol Ozan -
Perhaps the universe is a big fat consciousness and the matter is just an illusion.
Vasily Grossman - Life and Fate
When a person dies, they cross over from the realm of freedom to the realm of slavery. Life is freedom, and dying is a gradual denial of freedom. Consciousness first weakens and then disappears. The life-processes – respiration, the metabolism, the circulation – continue for some time, but an irrevocable move has been made towards slavery; consciousness, the flame of freedom, has died out.The stars have disappeared from the night sky; the Milky Way has vanished; the sun has gone out; Venus, Mars
Roshan Sharma -
The mind is not limited to the thoughts and imagination, but your mind is part of the cosmos of the universe. Your mind is whole awareness field.
Arthur C. Clarke - The Star
Once, I believed that space couldhave no power over faith, just as I believed the heavens declared the glory of God’shandwork. Now I have seen that handwork, and my faith is sorely troubled.
Steven Weinberg -
If there is no point in the universe that we discover by the methods of science, there is a point that we can give the universe by the way we live, by loving each other, by discovering things about nature, by creating works of art. And that—in a way, although we are not the stars in a cosmic drama, if the only drama we're starring in is one that we are making up as we go along, it is not entirely ignoble that faced with this unloving, impersonal universe we make a little island of warmth and lov
Pramoedya Ananta Toer - The Mute's Soliloquy: a Memoir
I came to see that man finds meaning in his existence only through the active demonstration of his human self, a cosmos comprising the entire constellation of life's factors: culture, civilization, tradition, history, ideals, facts, physical conditions, one's mental state, the ecology, and so on.
