Famous quotes containing the words related and/or terms:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
“I’ve never been on good terms with God, but now I’m becoming His intimate, for He is truly absolute and extremely legitimate.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
