Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.

It's just too egotistical to think that we are the only lifeform in the universe.

I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.

The writer needs to react to his or her own internal universe, to his or her own point of view. If he or she doesn't have a personal point of view, it's impossible to be a creator.

The kingdom of God is an order of government established by divine authority. It is the only legal government that can exist in any part of the universe.

Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.

But it is strange how many rational beings believe the ultimate truths of the universe to be reducible to patterns on a blackboard.

Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life here on earth; it applies to the whole universe.

After all, the universe required ten billion years of evolution before life was even possible; the evolution of the stars and the evolving of new chemical elements in the nuclear furnaces of the stars were indispensable prerequisites for the generation of life.

Of course, nobody would deny the importance of human beings for theological thinking, but the time span of history that theologians think about is a few thousand years of human culture rather than the fifteen billion years of the history of the universe.

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.

It becomes us in humility to make our devout acknowledgments to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored.

So long as we use a certain language, all questions that we can ask will have to be formulated in it and will thereby confirm the theory of the universe which is implied in the vocabulary and structure of the language.

If we knew exactly the laws of nature and the situation of the universe at the initial moment, we could predict exactly the situation of the same universe at a succeeding moment.
