Quotes About Universes

Quantos labirintos existem neste mundo. Os galhos das árvores, as filigranas das raízes, a matriz dos cristais, as ruas que o pai dela tinha recriado nas maquetes. Labirintos nas saliências de conchas de múrex, nas texturas da casca de plátanos e dentro dos ossos ocos das águias. Nada mais complicado do que o cérebro humano, diria Etienne, a coisa mais complexa que existe; um orgão, dentro do qual giram universos.
~ Anthony Doerr
None more complicated than the human brain, Etienne would say, what may be the most complex object in existence; one wet kilogram within which spin universes
~ Anthony Doerr
What mazes there are in this world. The branches of trees, the filigree of roots, the matrix of crystals, the streets her father recreated in his models... None more complicated than the human brain, Etienne would say, what may be the most complex object in existence; one wet kilogram within which spin universes.
~ Anthony Doerr
No order, no pattern, just chaos. Lots of little universes separated by invisible screens . . .
~ Olivia Sudjic, Sympathy
Quantum computation is a distinctively new way of harnessing nature. It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes.
~ David Deutsch
The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible. Universes of virtually unlimited complexity can be created in the form of computer programs.
~ Joseph Weizenbaum
It's a natural consequence of the capacity of a bookstore or library to contain entire worlds, whole universes, and all contained between the covers of books. In that sense, every library or bookstore is practically infinite. This library takes that to its logical conclusion.
~ John Connolly
Moreover it is assumed that wormholes only join universes to baby universes, or universes to themselves; there are no wormholes joining different baby universes in this approximation, nor are there allowed to be wormholes which split up into two or more other wormholes.
~ John D. Barrow
Everything was moving: the sea of fire under the crust of the earth, and the furnaces of the stars, and the planets, and the universes, and the light within the darkness and the silence in the cold.
~ Elena Ferrante
There are many worlds and many systems of Universes existing all at the same time, all of them perishable.
~ Anaximander
When I create and write for TV, I build universes that will have arcs lasting seasons, whereas theatre allows me to explore storylines that will open up for two hours or less. Both are wonderfully fulfilling, but they couldn't be more different.
~ Colman Domingo
When I was young. When I had no idea that all over the city, all over the world, there were people walking around sealed in their own universes of loss, independent solar systems of suffering closed off from the regular world, where things make sense and language is all you need to tell the truth.
~ Ariel Levy
A particular variety of loneliness, like peering deep into the darkness. It's only natural, when two separate universes touch.
~ Banana Yoshimoto
Even if spirits exist (watching us, haunting us, inhabiting alternate universes that subvert time), granting them entrance through the spaces in our minds, or the structure of our homes, and any other doors we might construct, can only result in man's utter destruction.
~ Sarah Langan
The history of science abounds with examples of discoveries greeted with howls of laughter because they seemed to be a marriage of incompatibles-until the marriage bore fruit and the alleged incompatibility of the partners turned out to derive from prejudice. The humorist, on the other hand, deliberately chooses discordant codes of behaviour or universes of discourse to expose their hidden incongruities in the resulting clash. Com
~ Arthur Koestler
The jokes in the previous section can all be described as universes of discourse colliding, frames getting entangled, or contexts getting confused.
~ Arthur Koestler
My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay close attention to the study of theoretical physics. Because one day there may well be proof of multiple universes. It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another different universe. And in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction.
~ Stephen Hawking
Yet suppose further. Suppose that all worlds, all universes, met at a single nexus, a single pylon, a Tower. And within it, a stairway, perhaps rising to the Godhead itself. Would you dare climb to the top, gunslinger? Could it be that somewhere above all of endless reality, there exists a room?...' You dare not.' And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not.
~ Stephen King
Finally... On other earths, on other universes, I learned that evil itself was a universal constant... And that it had a face, and that it had a name.
~ Jonathan Hickman
Universes may co-exist in the same wave-train, operating as the harmonics of a complex of frequencies. Analogous to the groove in a phonograph record, which is easily distinguished into horns and strings by the practiced ear—horns one universe, strings another. We may exist in all universes, but 'hear' only one because of our limitations, the valve of our desires, our practical, physical needs.
~ Greg Bear
Now, a lot of early VR worlds or universes that are coming online take inspiration from 'Ready Player One.' It's just the coolest thing ever.
~ Ernest Cline
One of the weapons Marvel used in its climb to comic-book dominance was a willingness to invent new characters at a dizzying speed. There are so many Marvel universes, indeed, that some superheroes do not even exist in one another's worlds, preventing gridlock.
~ Roger Ebert
Minutes turn into hours, and lifetimes into moments. Universes are created and destroyed with nary a pop. What was saved, no longer ex- ists. What was lost, no longer matters.
~ D.L. Orton, Crossing in Time
Shit!" I heard Diehl shout over the comm. "I just lost my gorram shields because I'm already out of frakkin' power!" "Dude," Cruz said. "You shouldn't mix swears from different universes." "Says who?" Diehl shot back. "Besides, what if BSG and Firefly took place
