Universe

I always say when it comes to dream matches, that is not up to me: that's up to the WWE Universe. That's up to the fans. But there is a guy on 'SmackDown' that I have yet to wrestle yet that's certainly gonna happen at some point, and that's Randy Orton.

Owing to some peculiarity in my nervous system, I have perception of some things, which no one else has, or at least very few, if any... I can throw rays from every quarter of the universe into one vast focus.

I discovered 'The Shield' back around 2010, when the Archie superheroes were licensed to DC Comics. From there, I went back into the archives and discovered this whole universe of characters, and I was hooked.

I'm trying to convey to my audience that you really can't judge a book by its cover, and there's more to the universe than you can see with your eyes.

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.

Einstein wrestled with a problem back before we even knew the universe was expanding, and he was looking for a way to keep the universe from collapsing. And so he discovered, in his theory of gravity, something like this dark energy - he called it a cosmological constant - could play this role, pushing things away.

I think the mystery of what's out there in the universe is just very compelling.

Until the 1990s, there were few reliable observations about movement at the scale of the entire universe, which is the only scale dark energy effects. So dark energy could not be seen until we could measure things very, very far away.

We've known for a long time that the universe is expanding. But about 15 years ago, my colleagues and I discovered that it is expanding faster and faster. That is, the universe is accelerating, and that was not expected, but it is now attributed to this mysterious stuff called dark energy which seems to make up about 70 percent of the universe.

The universe lies before you on the floor, in the air, in the mysterious bodies of your dancers, in your mind. From this voyage no one returns poor or weary.

The universe at large is full of questions that we still don't know anything about, and there will be always young people, brilliant, who are going to make new discoveries.

In reality there is no cause or effect, there is only the indifference of the universe.

One of the great things about the universe is that it's fair.

Except for a God who sits down after the universe begins, all other gods conflict with the assumptions of science.

In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.

Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

For the resolving powers of our scientific instruments decide, at a given moment, of the size and the vision of our Universe, and of the image we then make of ourselves.

No doubt, man will continue to weigh and to measure, watch himself grow, and his Universe around him and with him, according to the ever growing powers of his tools.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.

I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.

I feel that a lot of human spirituality stems from the belief that we are unique and special in the universe, but maybe we are just what happens when there is proper temperature and proper distance from the right type of star.

The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.

Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.

I think the universe is just so big that there has to be something else out there.

I can't imagine that life can be replaced with a computer universe. I can't accept it.

In love's godlike breathing, there's the innermost aspect of the universe.

My junior year, I went to an LSAT-prep course. I flipped over my test and thought, 'You bastards.' I walked out and went to Waffle House. That's where I had what I call 'The Waffle House Epiphany': I didn't want to be a lawyer. I wanted to make a dent in the universe.

Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.

When I see a room full of people pedaling away on stationary bikes, I fall into an existential spiral. It's confirmation that all we do as humans is pedal, pedal, pedal, and go nowhere. We're just specks of dust in the universe, riding 1970s stationary bicycles.

I'm immensely fortunate to have been involved in the 'Star Trek' universe. It has been a lot of fun, and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to have been part of something so important to so many people.

Helped are those who create anything at all, for they shall relive the thrill of their own conception and realize a partnership in the creation of the Universe that keeps them responsible and cheerful.

Once you feel loved by the universe, you're already accepted, and you're not really concerned about offending people.

I know that people will remember me as Miss Universe because it was my first great achievement, but I still have my whole career ahead of me.

Pray: To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.

Who knows where inspiration comes from. Perhaps it arises from desperation. Perhaps it comes from the flukes of the universe, the kindness of the muses.

Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.

The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself.

Because teenagers don't have adult responsibilities yet, you can create your own drama, and it's a universe of your own emotions.

Middle-earth is a universe I know very well.

Like many readers, I am continually in search of books that allow me to lose myself in an entirely unique universe.

A lot of people have this ego need that makes them want to believe that Earth is the center of the universe and humans are the most important species, the supreme expression of creation.

If you can't access it, all the resources in the universe won't do you any good.

There are a lot of writers who just want to do their own thing and avoid the rest of the Marvel Universe. But for me that was one of the things I loved about Marvel: that shared universe. So of course you would run into a mutant in Manhattan. You would run into another hero in Manhattan. For me, I figured why not? Why not have that fun?

Science fiction is exciting because it promises to show the world and the universe from perspectives radically unlike what we've seen before.

Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.

Security is an attempt to try to make the universe static so that we feel safe.

In a deep metaphysical sense, all that is conditioned is illusory. All phenomena are literally 'appearances,' the outer masks in which the One Reality shows itself forth in our changing universe. The more 'material' and solid the appearance, the further is it from reality, and therefore the more illusory it is.

What is the constitution of the universe? The universe is the manifestation of the divine thought, the thought of God embodies itself in the thought-forms that we call worlds.

Classifying the stars has helped materially in all studies of the structure of the universe.

Prayer is a form of meditation, isn't it? It's laws of attraction: whatever you put out into the universe is what it receives. It's just kind of putting your thoughts out into the universe.

Being poor sucks... It's hard to figure out the secrets of the universe when you're trying to figure out where you and your girlfriend are going to sleep next month.

I think the universe is pure geometry - basically, a beautiful shape twisting around and dancing over space-time.

If you share an office next to a guy for twenty years, and you like him and you're friends with him, it's hard to tell him that you think that his whole idea of how the universe works is completely wrong.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.

The only thing that makes sense is if the universe is beautiful and simple and elegant.

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe, I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Physicists explain creation by telling us that the universe began with the Big Bang, an intense energy singularity that continued expanding. But who created the singularity?

Personally, I do not know whether humankind is alone in this vast universe. But I do know that we should cherish our existence on this precious speck of matter... the greatest gift that could be bestowed upon us. For all practical purposes, there is only one planet Earth.

I will fight in the United States Senate this year to fund a servicing mission to Hubble by 2008, a mission that would potentially increase Hubble's power and efficiency by a factor of 10 and allow us to look back almost to the beginning of the universe.

We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it.

Nothing in the universe is contingent, but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

We are bits of energy floating about in various guises, and when we die we rejoin the big cosmic soup of the universe.

I want my fans to understand that what you put into the universe is what you get back.

Anxiety is a kind of fuel that activates the fight-or-flight part of the brain in me. It makes sure that a velociraptor isn't around the corner and that you do as much as you possibly can to survive. Because Hollywood has a lot in common with 'Jurassic Park' and its primeval-dinosaur universe.

You know George M. Steinbrenner III is the center of all evil in the universe.

I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye, and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.

I'll confess right here that I secretly wish I'd have drawn a strip about a little boy with a fake tiger, going for adventures throughout the universe in spaceships of his imagination.

You can parody and make fun of almost anything, but that does not turn the universe into a caricature.

When the culture is strong, you've got this consistency where black people can grow up in these places with this voice just resonating about our special-ness in the universe. And I always say you're in trouble if you get too far away from that core that grounds you.

Woo means the ability to entice someone or something to get what you want. My first solo album was called: All the Woo of the Universe, which was titled by George Clinton.

The universe may have a purpose, but nothing we know suggests that, if so, this purpose has any similarity to ours.

It's possible - you can never know - that the universe exists only for me. If so, it's sure going well for me, I must admit.

If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. You're not paying attention to what's happening in the universe around you.

Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Even Hubble hasn't found yet the end of this universe, and we don't know that it has any end.

For years I tried to put myself in a box, and it frustrated me, so I had to let go and let the universe take its course.

Every day is a surprise. There are confirmations of an interconnectivity and synchronicity which inspire, titillate and confirm the inherent comedy of the universe.

Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom, through thought I comprehend the world.

We people of the Earth exist because our potential was there in the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago, as the universe exploded into being.

Man is a universe within himself.

The universe is wonderful, but only when there is somebody there to wonder at it.

The universe is dynamic. When we are creative, we are the most alive and in touch with it.

I would say my whole universe is probably categorized as guerilla marketing. For a long time, I had a line which was, 'Whenever I hear the word 'marketing,' it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth.'

Bits and pieces flung into the universe, sticking in the sky like cotton balls on a jet black velcro surface.

Plunderous is the palate I gift to you, openly I hug the universe of our friendship expanding its outer limit.

The big message of gospel is that you don't have to keep fighting the universe, you can stop, and the universe is quite good to you. There is a loss of ego.

A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision.

As scientists, we track down all promising leads, and there's reason to suspect that our universe may be one of many - a single bubble in a huge bubble bath of other universes.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

My view is that you don't tell the universe what to do. The universe is how it is, and it's our job to figure it out.

String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the universe is consistent, and therefore I do believe that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be put together in a manner that makes sense.

String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars, from the primordial fireball of the big bang to the majestic swirl of heavenly galaxies - are reflections of one, grand physical principle, one master equation.

There are many of us thinking of one version of parallel universe theory or another. If it's all a lot of nonsense, then it's a lot of wasted effort going into this far-out idea. But if this idea is correct, it is a fantastic upheaval in our understanding.

There may be many Big Bangs that happened at various and far-flung locations, each creating its own swelling, spatial expanse, each creating a universe - our universe being the result of only one of those Big Bangs.

There may have been many big bangs, one of which created our universe. The other bangs created other universes.

There was a time when 'universe' meant 'all there is.' Everything. The whole shebang. The notion of more than one universe, more than one everything, would seemingly be a contradiction in terms.

We can certainly go further than cats, but why should it be that our brains are somehow so suited to the universe that our brains will be able to understand the deepest workings?

You almost can't avoid having some version of the multiverse in your studies if you push deeply enough in the mathematical descriptions of the physical universe.

I don't even really know what the big bang is, and so when people want to go through and say, 'Well, I believe that the universe started by God starting it,' that's fine by me.

I am an astronomer, and my job is to look to the heavens to better understand the universe and our place in it.

For where Kingman is located, the coral cover is unique in the world. I refer to it as a universe of hard corals. You are not going to find soft corals like in the western Pacific - places like Indonesia, Palau, or Fiji.

Play begins as a major feature of mammalian evolution and remains as a major method of becoming reconciled with our present universe.

In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled, everything is one.

The new physics provides a modern version of ancient spirituality. In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled, everything is one.

A security cam is one small part of a much larger universe of cams. The much larger effect, socially, politically and economically, is going to come from a much larger trend.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

All the body wants to do biologically is decompose. Once you die, it's, 'Let me out here! I'm ready to shoot my atoms back into the universe!'

There are some jobs where you think, 'There's no way! This would be too, too good. The universe would love me too much were it to actually happen.'

I'm not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I want to stay in shape.

Nature, I have constantly argued in my work, is the real superpower of this godless universe. It is the ultimate disposer of human fate, randomly recarving geography over 10,000-year epochs.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.

The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

I believe that there are no mistakes in the universe, so I think it all happens as it should!

We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe.

It was just one of those moments in the universe that was mine.

We're kind of the comic relief of this movie because most of the stories are very dark. And that's why these plays were so great, because it's such a dark, dark universe that it becomes funny because it's just too pathetic.

I'm a big believer in quantum physics, which says that the universe is more incredible and mysterious than any of us can imagine, which is my way of saying, 'Anything is possible, including angels.'

Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there's another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe.

Music is part of God's universe.

The principle of subordination is the great bond of union and harmony through the universe.

My child was not only carried by me, but by the universe.

Sometimes I write about things that never happened to me that wind up happening to me. When you put things out in the universe, sometimes they wind up coming true.

We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.

Can't you see, we are in a dialogue with the universe?

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and has the potential to become an inexpensive source of energy for neighborhoods, light and heavy duty vehicles, and industry.

I was the classic middle child in some ways, the one who could have been a priest in an alternate universe.

And I would argue the second greatest force in the universe is ownership.

Spacewalking trumps everything. Viscerally, it is a phenomenal place to be, to be able to glance right and see the world, glance left and see the universe, and realise for a moment that you're holding on to your known existence with one hand. That's the thing.

In the end, all that time I spent in the 'Star Wars' universe fostered galaxies of creativity and made me a better person here on Earth, because it taught me that everyone counts. That's why I can sincerely and with a straight face say: 'May the Force be with you.'

The Internet definitely could be a weapon of mass destruction - it's not going to come in a bomb, it's going to come as a cyberattack. It's pretty amazing to see what a small group of people can do if they really know how to control the universe.

Because I grew up on 'Star Wars', that was the best example of creating a full and rich world to me as a writer. When I was watching those movies as a kid, I wanted to know more about every damn character in that universe. There was always a hint that there was a story there that you just weren't getting to see.

Foreign policy is all about a universe of bad decisions, imperfect decisions, every situation is different. The dynamics, the atmospherics, the people, the pressures, the geopolitical realities shift.

I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno.

In general, the objects in the universe that are very high-energy objects, or the processes that are high-energy processes, will radiate more in the short wavelength range towards the gamma rays or the x-rays.

Without consciousness and intelligence, the universe would lack meaning.

I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that, I was just interested in the concepts involved.

The short story is an imploding universe. It has all the boil of energy inside it. A novel has shrapnel going all over the place. You can have a mistake in a novel. A short story has to be perfect.

A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.

We must believe then, that as from hence we see Saturn and Jupiter, if we were in either of the Two, we should discover a great many Worlds which we perceive not, and that the Universe extends so in infinitum.

Living here on Earth, we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos, poetry is born.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

Everything you'll ever need to know is within you, the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body.

Writing a novel is not at all like riding a bike. Writing a novel is like having to redesign a bike, based on laws of physics that you don't understand, in a new universe. So having written one novel does nothing for you when you have to write the second one.

Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.

I think many people are terribly afraid of being demoted by the Darwinian scheme from the role of authors and creators in their own right into being just places where things happen in the universe.

We should get used to the idea that we'll probably never be able to find - and confirm - a good explanation of the ultimate origin of the universe, though I see no reason to believe that we can't press much further on this question than we have managed to date.

The universe is not fair and it is never going to be fair.

I want to be Miss Universe when I grow up.

It's pretty shocking that the guys in Europe who cover traditional media will cover Google, whereas in the U.S., there are five different equity analysts that will cover the internet universe.

The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

Anyone who wants simple, pat stories should buy another author's product. The real universe ain't that way, and neither are my fictive ones.

Every kid goes to school full of questions about meaning. You know, 'What's my place in the universe? What does it mean to be a human being? What are human beings?' Existing courses cannot help you answer those questions. They can't even help you ask them.

We, as extremely complex creatures, desperately need to know this story of how the universe creates complexity and why complexity means vulnerability and fragility.

My biggest thing is that I would love in some form or fashion to return to the 'Marvel' universe, whether in television or a feature. I love the people at 'Marvel' and grew up reading the characters, and it was a real dream come true getting to play with the toys.

It gets harder and harder to succeed and find audiences with the 500-channel universe, the remote control, and people being so trigger happy with that remote control. It just gets harder to get a foothold.

The Big Bang theory is the idea that if we go back early enough in the history of the universe - and we can do this, of course, by looking at starlight coming to us from billions of years ago - we will see a very hot and dense period where the universe was much smaller, denser, and hotter.

The main reason why people should care about research in fundamental physics is the same reason they care about astronomy and cosmology. People, children, want to know what we're made out of, how it works, and why the universe is the way it is.

To understand the universe in the state that it began in, the so-called Big Bang, we need laws of physics that work better than our current set of rules and procedures, which break down when we try to push them back to the beginning.

The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.

What we call the 'world' and the 'universe' is only one frequency range in an infinite number sharing the same space. The interdimensional entities I write about are able to move between these frequencies or dimensions and manipulate our lives.

I said from the start I had to be trustful of the Millennium universe. It was not going to be a Stieg Larsson book, but my interpretation of his iconic characters and universe.

I've always been a huge fan of the Batman universe and Batman, since I was born really. I think the reasoning for that is because he doesn't have a superpower - he has no special ability. He's just a regular person, a regular human.

Prayer in any form is efficacious because it is an action. It will, therefore, have a result. That is the law of this universe in which we find ourselves.

If the universe is running down like a clock, the clock must have been wound up at a date which we could name if we knew it. The world, if it is to have an end in time, must have had a beginning in time.

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.

So the universe is constantly moving in the direction of higher evolutionary impulses, creativity, abstraction, and meaning.

So many things happen for every event, and if you try to manipulate it, it means you are struggling against the whole universe, and that's just silly.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.

I'm not much of a plotter. I start off with an inciting incident, and in classic crime fiction what happens is that all the action flows from that incident. It's very comfy when it all ties up and feels like a complete universe, but my stuff doesn't always work that way.

The earth is a tremendous gift. There is nothing else like it in the known universe. I want to leave it the way I found it.

We inhabit a universe that is characterized by diversity.

I may have one more 'Star Trek' novel in me, but it would be in the old universe, not the new one.

The DC Universe Animated made for videos, which we do in cooperation with Warner Animation, are very intentionally scheduled at 3-4 a year, depending on whether or not there's a theatrical tent pole release in a given year, in which case we may choose to do four of them a year.

Life and the universe compare to each other like a child and a parent, parent and offspring.

People quite often think of the question 'Are we alone in the universe?' in terms of other civilizations out there: life forms that have reached at least our level of technological development.

Ocean planets might be very common in the universe because water is very common in the low-temperature environments where planets form and evolve. This might be especially true for super-Earths, which can retain volatiles more easily thanks to their larger mass and surface gravity.

There is immense, powerful potential in life in this universe - especially now that we know that places like the Earth are common. And that potential, that powerful potential, is also our potential, of you and me.

When we discover New Earth - a planet we could call home - the question of the 'plurality of worlds' will come front and center, reminding us yet again that we are not the center of the universe.

If there is any sense of order to the universe, acting is what I am meant to do. I'm not manufactured. I know acting isn't real, that it's temporary. If there is any theme to the roles I play, it is emotional vulnerability and availability.

The beggar is the only person in the universe not obliged to study appearance.

Writing is the only way I know to demand justice from an uncaring universe.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone 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.

Given the infinite number of coincidences that could happen, very few ever actually do. The universe exists in a coincidence-hating state of anti-fluke.

We really ought to give ourselves a collective pat on the back for doing as well as we have in a universe of constant media change and mutation.
