There is no unique picture of reality.

Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this.

The universe is a grand design, but it is not a benevolent one.

We are all different, but we share the same human spirit. Perhaps it's human nature to make a virtue of what one has to do.

I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.

The universe is a machine, and we are part of it.

The universe is not a mystery to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

The universe is not a static place, but a dynamic one.

There is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate.

Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.

The universe is a beautiful and complex place, and we are lucky to be a part of it.

The universe is a vast and mysterious place, and we are only just beginning to understand it.

The universe is a wonderful place to live, and we should all do our part to protect it.

I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.

We are all connected to the universe, and the universe is connected to us.

The universe is a symphony, and we are all a part of it.

The universe is a story, and we are all a part of it.

The universe is a dream, and we are all a part of it.
