Quotes About Universe

I think I'm more concerned with things that are very big and things that are very small than with all the stuff in between.
~ Erlend Loe
When the universe is ephemeral, one can easily feel that human existence is meaningless. Why should I do anything at all? On the other hand it is tempting to try and make the best of it. I'm here, anyway. The imagination won't cope if I try to picture where I'd otherwise be.
~ Erlend Loe
the total number of galaxies in the universe seems to be in the region of ten billion, and that each of them has about a hundred billion stars the size of the sun. These numbers are so absurd that I strangely find myself in a good mood. It's all so immense. I think Paul feels a bit like this as well. There is so little I can do to make a difference.

La eternidad es algo muy distinto a lo sencillamente enorme o inconcebiblemente grande. Si el universo tiene un tiempo ilimitado a su disposición, no significa solo que todo puede suceder. Significa que todo va a suceder. Por muy inverosímil que sea o por mucho tiempo que lleve, antes o después ocurrirá todo. Eso significa que si yo viviera para siempre, lo haría todo y me pasaría todo.
~ Erlend Loe

Det med, at universet ser ud til at have en afslutning, lægger naturligvis en dæmper på et eller andet. Alle tanker om evigt liv sætter sig fast i halsen. Men det er ikke noget, der plager mig. Ikke nu. Tværtimod. Jeg føler mig mere levende, end jeg har gjort længe. Pludselig føles det helt fint at have en frist at forholde sig til. Jeg har egentlig altid arbejdet bedst under pres.
~ Erlend Loe
Yo no pedí nacer. Nadie lo hizo. El tamaño y la complejidad del universo me hacen sentir muy pequeño y libre de responsabilidades. Me llevan a pensar que lo único que tiene sentido es intentar pasárselo bien.
~ Erlend Loe
Spet to z vesoljem. Vse misli prejšne no?i me nekako niso naredile manj umrljivega. ?e je vesolje za?asno si hitro misliš, da je ?loveško življenje nesmiselno. Zakaj bi se soloh ?esa lotil?

I knew there was probably life elsewhere. But given the vast size and age of the universe, I also knew how astronomically unlikely it was we would ever make contact with it, much less within the narrow window of my own lifetime.

As I stared out at the grim skyline, a bright sliver of the sun peeked over the horizon. Watching it rise, I performed a mental ritual: Whenever I saw the sun, I reminded myself that I was looking at a star. One of over a hundred billion stars in our galaxy.
