Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.

Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe.

I don't pretend to understand the universe — it's much bigger than I am.

The universe is a lot more complicated than you might think even if you start from a position of thinking that its pretty damn complicated to begin with.

One could say: "The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary." The universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It would just BE.
