Quotes About Universe

And suddenly the metaphysically abrupt noise of the arrival of the office boy. I could kill him for interrupting what I was not thinking. I look at him, turning around, in a silence full of hatred; I listen, expectantly, in a tension of latent homicide. He smiles from the back of the office and says hello out loud. I hate him as I hate the universe. My eyes are leaden with sleep.

I want the good, I want the bad, and in the end I want nothing. I toss in bed, uncomfortable on my right side, on my left side, And on my consciousness of existing, I'm universally uncomfortable, metaphysically uncomfortable, But what's even worse is my headache. That's more serious than the meaning of the universe.

Nem sei pensar, do sono que tenho; nem sei sentir, do sono que não consigo ter. Tudo no meu torno é o universo nu, abstrato, feito de negações noturnas.

I don't know what the point is of this journey I was obliged to make between one night and another, in the company of the entire universe.

Tengo en mí todos los sueños del mundo

A verdade, porém, é que não existo nem eu, nem outra coisa qualquer. Todo este universo, e todos os outros universos, com seus diversos criadores e seus diversos Satãs mais ou menos perfeitos e adestrados são vácuos dentro do vácuo, nadas que giram, satélites, na órbita inútil de coisa nenhuma.

Después morirá el planeta giratorio en que todo esto ocurrió.

Quanto mais eu sinta, quanto mais eu sinta como várias pessoas, Quanto mais personalidade eu tiver, Quanto mais intensamente, estridentemente as tiver, Quanto mais simultaneamente sentir com todas elas, Quanto mais unificadamente diverso, dispersadamente atento, Estiver, sentir, viver, for, Mais possuirei a existência total do universo, Mais completo serei pelo espaço inteiro fora

Sometimes the mere rhythm of a sentence will require God instead of the Gods; at other times the two syllables of 'the Gods' will be necessary, and I'll verbally change universe; on still other occasions what will matter is an internal rhyme, a metrical displacement, or a burst of emotion, and polytheism or monotheism will prevail accordingly. The Gods are contingent on style.

Que mãos estenderei para que universo? O universo não é meu: sou eu.

To write is to objectify dreams, to create an outer world as a material reward [?] of our nature as creators. To publish is to give this outer world to others; but what for, if the outer world common to us and to them is the 'real' outer world, the one made of visible and tangible matter? What do others have to do with the universe that's in me?

Considerar nuestra angustia más profunda como un incidente sin importancia, no sólo en la vida del universo, sino en la de nuestra propia alma, es el principio de la sabiduría.

I limited and focused my desires to hone and refine them. To reach the infinite – and I believe it can be reached – we need to have a sure port, just one, from which to set out for the Indefinite. Today I'm an ascetic in my religion of myself. A cup of coffee, a cigarette and my dreams can substitute quite well for the universe and its stars, for work, love, and even beauty and glory. I need virtually no stimulants. I have opium enough in my soul.

Tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo

All is nothing, and in the entrance hall to the Invisible, whose open door reveals merely a closed door beyond, all things dance, servants of the wind that stirs them without hands – all things, big and small, which for us and in us formed the perceptible system of the universe.

And my heart is a little larger than the entire universe. — Álvaro de Campos, from "[I got off the train]," 4 July 1934, A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems by Fernando Pessoa , ed. & trans. Richard Zenith (Penguin Classics, 2006)

Il mistero supremo dell'Universo, l'unico mistero, tutto e in tutto, è che ci sia un mistero dell'universo, è che ci sia l'universo, qualcosa, è che ci sia l'esserci. ... Il mistero di tutto si avvicina talmente al mio essere, giunge così vicino agli occhi della mia anima che mi dissolvo in tenebre e avvolto in tenebre oscuramente mi atterrisco.

To think of our greatest anxiety as an insignificant event, not only in the life of the universe but also in the life of our own soul, is the beginning of wisdom.

Quando eu abandonar o meu ser como uma cadeira donde me levanto Deixar atrás o mundo como a um quarto donde saio, Abandonar toda esta forma, de sentidos e pensamento, de sentir as coisas, Como uma capa que me prenda, Quando de vez minha alma chegar à superfície da minha pele E dispersar o meu ser pelo universo exterior, Seja com alegria que eu reconheça que a Morte Vem como um sol distante na antemanhã do meu novo ser.

We are eternal travelers of ourselves, and the only landscape that exists is what we are. We possess nothing, because we do not even possess ourselves. We have nothing because we are nothing. What hands will I reach out to what universe? The universe is not mine: it is me.

I write my literature as I write my ledger entries-carefully and indifferently. Next to the vast starry sky and the enigma of so many souls, the night of the unknown abyss and the chaos of nothing make sense-next to all this, what I write in the ledger and what I write on this paper that tells my soul are equally confined to the Rua dos Douradores, woefully little in the face of the universe's millionaire expanses.

The great anguishes of the soul always come upon us like cosmic cataclysms. When they do, the sun errs from its course and the stars are troubled. A day will come to every feeling soul when Fate stages an apocalypse of anguish, an upturning of all known heavens and universes over the soul's desolation.

It did not take long to conclude that, without God, would never come to understand where the universe began and where it ended, where it came from him, where he would go

The black sky was underpinned with long silver streaks that looked like scaffolding and depth on depth behind it were thousands of stars that all seemed to be moving very slowly as if they were about some vast construction work that involved the whole universe and would take all time to complete. No one was paying attention to the sky.
