"Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together..." Carl Zwanzig "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 "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Albert Einstein "Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things." Unknown "In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time." Edward P. Tryon "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 "The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest." Kilgore Trout "I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." Woody Allen "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 "The crux... is that the vast majority of the mass of the universe seems to be missing." William J. Broad "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 "There is a coherent plan in the universe, though I don't know what it's a plan for." Fred Hoyle "We are an impossibility in an impossible universe." Ray Bradbury "My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed." Christopher Morley "I'm worried that the universe will soon need replacing. It's not holding a charge." Edward Chilton "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)

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Lou Holtz A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine. Anne Bronte A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water. Carl Reiner A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. Walt Whitman A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart. Hal Borland Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative. H. G. Wells Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. Russell Baker All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind. Abraham Lincoln All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God. Thomas Browne All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. Toni Morrison And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns. Thomas Moore And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything. William Shakespeare As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on. Woody Allen Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus Bats drink on the wing, like swallows, by sipping the surface, as they play over pools and streams. Gilbert White Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying. Langston Hughes Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy. Roger Tory Peterson Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them? Rose Kennedy
