Famous quotes containing the word universe:
“The universe is the bride of the soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He has seen but half the universe who never has been shown the house of pain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
