Famous quotes containing the word universe:
“Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. M The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality—where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
