QUOTES ON THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE
Duct Tape Douglas Adams: "There 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." Albert Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

 

Unknown: "Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things." Albert Einstein: "The difference between genius and stupidy is that genius has its limits." Eden Phillpotts: "The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." Edward P. Tryon: "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." John Andrew Holmes: "It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others." Max Frisch: "Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it." Kilgore Trout: "The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest." Woody Allen: "I'm astounded by people who want to `know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." Douglas Adams: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." William J. Broad: "The crux... is that the vast majority of the mass of the universe seems to be missing." Rich Cook: "Programming 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." Fred Hoyle: "There is a coherent plan in the universe, though I don't know what it's a plan for." Ray Bradbury: "We are an impossibility in an impossible universe." Christopher Morley: "My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed." Edward Chilton: "I'm worried that the universe will soon need replacing. It's not holding a charge."

Anonymous: "Cannot find REALITY.SYS...Universe Halted." Bernard Bailey: "When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it." Johann von Goethe: "We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." Buddha: "You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." Herman Melville: "There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes the whole universe for a vast practical joke." Gareth Roberts: "It may not seem like much, but think of the consequences. One overdue library book today, the collapse of the universe by the end of the week." Ian J. Davenport: "It's counter to common sense, but common sense is only based on a very small subset of the universe." Albert Einstein: "What is inconceivable about the universe is that it is at all conceivable."
