Quotes About Dimensions

Unseen University was much bigger on the inside. Thousands of years as the leading establishment of practical magic in a world where dimensions were largely a matter of chance in any case had left it bulging in places where it shouldn't have places. There were rooms containing rooms which, if you entered them, turned out to contain the room you'd started with, which can be a problem if you are in a conga line.
~ Terry Pratchett
It is now known to science that there are many more dimensions than the classical four. Scientists say that these don't normally impinge on the world because the extra dimensions are very small and curve in on themselves, and that since reality is fractal most of it is tucked inside itself. This means either that the universe is more full of wonders than we can hope to understand or, more probably, that scientists make things up as they go along.
~ Terry Pratchett
Mrs Cake? What is a Mrs Cake? You have ... ghastly Things from the Dungeon Dimensions and things, yes? Terrible hazards of your ungodly profession? said the Chief Priest. Yes. We have someone called Mrs Cake. Ridcully gave him an inquiring look. Don't ask, said the priest, shuddering. Just be grateful you'll never have to find out.
~ Terry Pratchett
The great uncertainty of all data in war is a peculiar difficulty, because all action must, to a certain extent, be planned in a mere twilight, which in addition not infrequently—like the effect of a fog or moonshine—gives to things exaggerated dimensions and unnatural appearance.
~ Karl Von Clausewitz
The store is fifteen Mayas wide and twenty Mayas long. She knows this because she once spent an afternoon measuring it by lying her body across the room. It is fortunate that it is not more than thirty Mayas long because that is as far as she could count on the day the measurements were taken.
~ Gabrielle Zevin
The store is seven Mayas wide and twelve Mayas long. She knows this because she once spent an afternoon measuring it by lying her body across the room. It is fortunate that it is not more than twenty Mayas long because that is as far as she could count on the day the measurements were taken.
~ Gabrielle Zevin
The Cross is the mediation point between two universes. In a way, the cosmologists are right. Multiple dimensions and parallel universes are not only possible; they are the norm.
~ Gary Stearman
Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and says, yes, gravity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism — all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see.
~ Brian Greene
For string theory to make sense, the universe should have nine spacial dimensions and one time dimension, for a total of ten dimensions.
~ Brian Greene
We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But life is endless, so we never die; we were never really born. We just pass through different phases. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned.
~ Brian L. Weiss
Patience and timing… everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a schedule as so many people want it to be. We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But life is endless, so we never die; we were never really born. We just pass through different phases. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see it, but rather in lessons that are learned.
~ Brian L. Weiss
fases. No hay final. Los humanos tienen muchas dimensiones. Pero el tiempo no es como lo vemos, sino lecciones que hay que aprender.[2]
~ Brian L. Weiss
Paciencia y tiempo... todo llega a su debido tiempo. No se puede apresurar una vida, no se puede resolver según un plan, como tanta gente quiere. Debemos aceptar lo que nos sobreviene en un momento dado y no pedir más. Pero la vida es infinita; jamás morimos; jamás nacimos, en realidad. Sólo pasamos por diferentes fases. No hay final. Los humanos tienen muchas dimensiones. Pero el tiempo no es como lo vemos, sino lecciones que hay que aprender.
~ Brian L. Weiss
Patience and timing . . . everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a schedule as so many people want it to be. We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But life is endless, so we never die; we were never really born. We just pass through different phases. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned."1
~ Brian L. Weiss
The earth life is a gift. It is a school to learn how love manifests in the physical dimensions where bodies and emotions exist.
~ Brian L. Weiss
Evangelical spirituality focuses, subjectively, on the "with-God" life in all of its lived dimensions. It concerns the manner by which we live in communion with Christ in response to the Spirit in pursuit of holiness resulting in service to others.
~ Bruce A. Demarest
To put it another way, God is able to interact with us in ways we interpret (through our time-bound experience of cause and effect) as the result of time-like capacities in the person or essence of God or the existence of other time-like dimensions
~ Hugh Ross
There are always dimensions, and the way they get expressed is through the writing and the actors and the director you get to work with on that day. But there are always dimensions, outside of really basic stuff for very young people where it needs to be very clear.
~ Ben Mendelsohn
It would be amazing to play Sylvia Plath. She was so dark, and what came out of her writing was troubled and fierce. The dimensions, levels, layers and levels would be incredible to take on.
~ Evangeline Lilly
I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of widths.
~ Steven Wright
Even into a spiritual level I believe that there are dimensions around us that we can't see and forces happening that we can't explain. It's too lame to not think that.
~ Lights
