“Rather than seeing ourselves as insignificant specks in the immensity of the cosmos, we can consider that immensity an indicator of our worth. It seems the Creator invested a great deal-a universe of 50 billion trillion stars, plus a hundred times more matter, all fine-tuned to mind-boggling precision-for us. If not for the strength and abundance of evidence in support of that notion, it would seem the height of arrogance. Humility demands that we take a deeper and wider look at that evidence.” IfsMindLooksMatterSeemsUniverseStarsDealsSupportSeeingHumilityFineDemandHundredEvidenceNotionCreatorDeeperBillionsHeightArroganceAbundanceCosmosPlusWorth ItInsignificantPrecisionIndicatorsImmensitySpecksMind Boggling Book:Why the Universe Is the Way It Is Source: Why the Universe Is the Way It Is

“People speak because they are afraid of silence. They speak mechanically whether aloud or to themselves. They are intoxicated by this vocal gruel that ensnares every object and every being.

“Synchronize watches at oh six hundred' says the infantry captain, and each of his huddled lieutenants finds respite from fear in the act of bringing two tiny pointers into jeweled alignment while tons of heavy artillery go fluttering overhead: the prosaic, civilian-looking dial of the watch has restored, however briefly, an illusion of personal control. Good, it counsels, looking tidily up from the hairs and veins of each terribly vulnerable wrist; fine: so far, everything's happening right on time.” TwoWatchesHairFineSixHappeningsIllusionHundredHeavyTinyVulnerableCaptainsVeinsCiviliansAlignmentWristsOverheadArtilleryFlutteringLieutenantsInfantryRespitePointers Book:Revolutionary Road Source: Revolutionary Road

“Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you. For you is the phenomenon perfect. What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.” KnowsWorldEarthSpiritHouseNamesHeavenCan DoLinesPerfectLandFineHundredTradePhenomenonRomeAdamScholarDominionHeaven And EarthAcres Book:The Portable Emerson: New Edition Source: The Portable Emerson: New Edition
