The universe is one of God's thoughts.

The universe is not indifferent to our existence - it depends on it.

I think my proper response is complete amazement and awe at the universe that we are in, and how it works is just far more complicated than humans will ever properly understand.

The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine.

Some people take the view that the universe is simply there, and it runs along - it's a bit as though it just sort of computes, and we happen by accident to find ourselves in this thing. I don't think that's a very fruitful or helpful way of looking at the universe.

The universe, when you leave it alone, is going to be beautiful.

I think the universe is just so big that there has to be something else out there.

The real universe has a marvellous and unique quality, inasmuch as it and only it can take us completely by surprise.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the universe is the merest illusion.

I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe.
