On the nature of the universe...
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody 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.
Douglas Adams
Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for
those people who can't remember where they leave things.
Unknown
It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling
exception, is composed of others.
John Andrew Holmes
Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to
experience it.
Max Frisch
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people
very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Douglas Adams
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build
bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce
bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
Rich Cook
My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.
Christopher Morley
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is
that it has never tried to contact us.
Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson)
