Quotes by Cosmos Science was tearing through the 'fine-spun ecclesiastical cobwebs' to behold a new cosmos, in which our Earth is merely an 'eccentric speck' - a world of evolution 'and unchanging causation'. It invited new ways of thinking. It demanded a new rationale for belief. With science's truths the only accessible ones, 'blind faith' was no longer admirable but 'the one unpardonable sin'. Adrian Desmond cosmosworldthinking We are living in an inspiring and unimaginably large universe. Contemplating the immensity of our cosmos can make you feel very small and insignificant. But think about it. You have 37.2 trillion cells in your body. There is vastness outside you and vastness inside you. You are connected to this mystery, you are a microcosm of the universe, and every aspect of your life benefits from the universe's provision. Agapi Stassinopoulos cosmoscellsthinking In this acausal world, scientists are helpless. Their predictions become postdictions- Their equations become justifications, their logic, illogic. Scientists turn reckless and mutter like gamblers who cannot stop betting. Scientists are buffoons, not because they are rational but because the cosmos is irrational. Or perhaps it is not because the cosmos is irrational but because they are rational. Who can say which, in an acausal world? Alan Lightman cosmosscienceworld Just as the ocean is waving so each one of us is a waving of the whole cosmos, the entire works, all there is.

Ann Druyan cosmosintelligentloneliness We are the first generation of human beings to have substantial insights into the origin of our cosmos and of human life in it. Arthur Peacocke cosmosorigin-of-lifegenerations I think a part of evolution is the desire to know yourself, and know the world you live in, and discover everything you can about the world you live in. That world can be the microcosm of your own emotions, or a society, or the cosmos. There's this constant desire for knowledge. Audra McDonald cosmosdesirethinking Art matures. It is the formal elaboration of activity, complete in its own pattern. It is a cosmos of its own. Baker Brownell cosmospatternsart A change in language can transform our appreciation of the cosmos. Benjamin Lee Whorf cosmoslanguageappreciation Remote from human passions, remote even from the pitiful facts of nature, the generations have gradually created an ordered cosmos [mathematics], where pure thought can dwell in its natural home. Bertrand Russell cosmospassionhome We are living through a remarkably privileged era when certain deep truths about the cosmos are still within reach of the human spirit of exploration. Brian Greene cosmoserasspirit Our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in nature.
