Quotes About Cosmic

When we do not recognize our cosmic function, our own hearts break, and so does the heart of the world.
~ Marianne Williamson
Freud definió la neurosis como el hecho de alejarse del Yo, y eso es. El verdadero Yo es el amor dentro de nosotros. Es el «hijo de Dios». El yo temeroso es un impostor. La vuelta al amor es el gran drama cósmico, el viaje personal desde lo ilusorio hasta el Yo, del dolor a la paz interior.
~ Marianne Williamson
Il arrive qu'on fasse des pieds et des mains pour atteindre un objectif, mais il vous échappe parce que les lois cosmiques suivent une autre voie.
~ Marina Abramovi?
Concert pianists get to be quite chummy with dead composers. They can't help it. Classical music isn't just music . It's a personal diary. An uncensored confession in the dead of night. A baring of the soul. Take a modern example. Florence and the Machine? In the song 'Cosmic Love,' she catalogs the way in which the world has gone dark, distorting her, when she, a rather intense young woman, was left bereft by a love affair. 'The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.
~ Marisha Pessl
The Imaginary Intern and I used to say, 'The mind going is the mind coming,' which we meant not only in terms of the curvature of space-time (and the cosmic boomerang effect), but also in terms of sexual jouissance.
~ Mark Leyner
The horribly ironic cosmic trick of drug addiction is that drugs are a lot of fun when you first start using them, but by the time the consequences manifest themselves, you're no longer in a position to say, "Whoa, gotta stop that." You've lost that ability, and you've created this pattern of conditioning and reinforcement. It's never something for nothing when drugs are involved.
~ Anthony Kiedis
We took a bus to Victoria, then passed on foot into a vast, desolate region of stucco streets and squares upon which a doom seemed to have fallen. The gloom was cosmic.
~ Anthony Powell
It was some kind of cosmic switching device, routing the traffic of the stars through unimaginable dimensions of space and time. He was passing through a Grand Central Station of the galaxy.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
They would probably never even know that the human race existed. Such monumental indifference was worse than any deliberate insult. When
~ Arthur C. Clarke
One hemisphere was a giant bull's-eye, a series of concentric rings where solid rock had once flowed in kilometer-high ripples under some ancient hammer blow from space.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
In their explorations, they encountered life in many forms and watched the workings of evolution on a thousand worlds. They saw how often the first faint sparks of intelligence flickered and died in the cosmic night. And because, in all the Galaxy, they had found nothing more precious than Mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And
~ Arthur C. Clarke
The Firstborn probably believed that in their universal cauterization they were being benevolent.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
I believe that Rama is a cosmic Ark, sent here to save—those who are worthy of salvation.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
We tell ourselves how lovely it would be, would it not, if there were a God who created the universe and benign Providence, a moral world order, and life beyond the grave, yet it is very evident, is it not, that all of this is the way we should inevitably wish it to be. And it would be even more remarkable if our poor, ignorant bondsman ancestors had managed to solve all these difficult cosmic questions.
~ Sigmund Freud
T]he theory of Empedocles which especially deserves our interest is one which approximates so closely to the psychoanalytic theory of the instincts that we should be tempted to maintain that the two are identical, if it were not for the difference that the Greek philosopher's theory is a cosmic phantasy while ours is content to claim biological validity.
~ Sigmund Freud
Quien no haya concebido jamás su propia anulación, quien no haya presentido el recurso a la cuerda, a la bala, al veneno o al mar, es un recluso envilecido o un gusano reptante sobre la carroña cósmica.
~ Simon Critchley
When absorbing the sadness of the loss, we must concentrate on bad guys to demonize, or black holes of sympathy in which we get to play the cosmic victim of terrible circumstances. Demonizing and victimizing are the sources of those stories in which we can get so woefully stuck
~ John P. Schuster
Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.
~ John Polkinghorne
There's a difference between the fact that the universe is inherently unfair on a cosmic level, and the fact that life is unfair because people are actively making it so.
~ John Scalzi
Do not mourn me, friends I fall as a shooting star Into the next life
~ John Scalzi
It could very well be that if a grandfather paradox really gets going and history from the point of the twonky forward starts to come unglued... ...we all softly and suddenly vanish away. Not just you and me, but the Sun, Jupiter, Alpha Centauri and the Andromeda Galaxy. And so forth. This is known as the Cosmic Disgust Theory. Or: "If you're going to play games like that, I'll take my marbles and go home. Signed, God.
~ John Varley
The one who had not ever conceived his own annulment, who had not foreseen the resource of the cord, the bullet, the poison or the sea, is a debased prisoner or a crawling worm on the cosmic carrion. This world can take off us everything, it can forbid us everything, but nobody can't prevent us our self-abolition.
~ Emil Cioran
Cine nu iubeÅŸte natura nu iubeÅŸte nici muzica, iar acele peisaje, ce nu ne trezesc reprezent?ri muzicale, nu pot fi amintiri. Cel ce n-a r?t?cit transportat ÅŸi melancolic prin parcuri nu va înÅ£elege graÅ£ia mozartian?. Înser?ri grave f?r? Brahms? Sau monumentalul naturii f?r? Beethoven? Muzica are un caracter cosmic. F?r? dragoste de natur? ne lipseÅŸte baza pasiunii muzicale.
~ Emil Cioran
In the 'Gospel According to the Egyptians,' Jesus proclaims: 'Men will be the victims of death so long as women give birth.' And he specifies: 'I am come to destroy the works of woman.' When we frequent the extreme truths of the Gnostics, we should like to go, if possible, still further, to say something never said, which petrifies or pulverizes history, something out of a cosmic Neronianism, out of a madness on the scale of matter.
~ Emil M. Cioran
