Quotes About Dimension

~ Dejan Stojanovic
Contemplate the wonders of creation, the Divine dimension of their being, not as a dim configuration that is presented to you from a distance, but as the reality in which you live. —RABBI ABRAHAM ISAAC KOOK
~ Tamar Frankiel
What we consider imagination is a reality in some form on levels beyond the normal sensory world.

As far as the laws of probability, my lady, these cannot be broken, any more than any other mathematical principle. But laws of physics and mathematics are like a coordinate system that runs in only one dimension. Perhaps there is another dimension perpendicular to it, invisible to those laws of physics, describing the same things with different rules, and those rules are written in our hearts, in a deep place where we cannot go and read them except in our dreams.
~ Neal Stephenson

The cosmic perspective enables us to grasp, in the same thought, the large and the small, from a universe that began in a space far tinier than the period at the end of this sentence to one that is now many billions of light-years across.
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
Reality has a deep dimension often operating below the surface of empirical experience. To think otherwise is to commit what critical realists call the epistemic fallacy, namely, to reduce what is to what we can empirically observe. That is a debilitating move.
~ Christian Smith
I have tried to write about politics in an allusive manner that draws upon other interests and to approach literature and criticism without ignoring the political dimension. Even if I have failed in this synthesis, I have found the attempt worth making.

Rooms that are bigger on the inside than the outside.…
~ Christopher Paolini
Even from high above, I could feel Amanda's hate. Or perhaps it was another dimension of my Shadow, my own hate for her closing in on me. Despite all I had learned and seen, I wished to God someone would choke her to death so I could get ahold of her and choke her some more.
~ Christopher Pike
luckily, Eden is soon populated. The ethical dimension begins when the other appears on the scene.
~ Umberto Eco
esa desproporción monstruosa entre el enanismo de su complexión y la dimensión
~ Umberto Eco
As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it.
~ Vaclav Havel
The kind of hope that I often think about…I understand above all as a state of mind, not a state of the world. Either we have hope within us, or we don't. It is a dimension of the soul It's not essentially dependent upon some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
~ Vaclav Havel
The whole city seemed to be pinned down, fascinated by the glassy stare of the Lubyanka. Krymov had thought about various people he knew. Their distance from him was something that couldn't even be measured in space -they existed in another dimension. No power on earth or in heaven could bridge this abyss, an abyss as profound as death itself. But these people weren't yet lying under a nailed-down coffin-lid – they were here beside him, alive and breathing, thinking, weeping.
~ Vasily Grossman
Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins.

All that's left now is purely poetic work, putting more life into individual places, as I've made so sure of the fundamental mood and dimension of expression that it won't leave me groping around in uncertainty any more.
~ Oskar Kokoschka
If you go into an underground train in London - probably anywhere, but chiefly in London - there's that sense of almost entering a ghostly dimension. People are very still and quiet; they don't exchange many pleasantries.
~ Seamus Heaney
Divine providence for next dimension is a natural as rest, food and water are to our natural bodies. Rest, Arise and Eat for the challenges ahead of you are too great for you.
~ Dr. Lucas D. Shallua
The inner dimension and the hidden time have already been discovered.
~ Compton Gage
