“I'm not crying about anything or anyone in particular. The life I live I created for myself, and I wouldn't want it any different. I cry because in the universe there is something as beautiful as Kremer playing the Brains violin concerto.” WantDifferentBeautifulUniverseBrainCryParticularViolin Author:Peter Høeg

“I am a cautious pilgrim of the night, a tentative wanderer among the stars. My awareness of my home in the universe is fleeting and incomplete. Into the homeless home of the sun-faced buddha I have stepped but briefly. My quest, such as it is, is rewarded with faint lights and scrawny cries, a trait here and trait there, a hint of the infinite and a tingle in the spine. Of "minute particulars" I will make my way.” WayHomeLightNightUniverseStarsSunAtheismMinutesAwarenessCryInfinitePositive AtheismMy WayTraitsQuestsHomelessFleetingHintsCautiousIncompleteSpinePilgrimWanderers Author:Chet Raymo

“writing is about doing something very close to the bone. It's about shocking yourself. When I write, I like to make myself cry, laugh - I like to give myself an experience. I see a lot of writing out there that's very safe. But if you're not scaring yourself, why would you think that you'd be scaring anybody else? If you're not coming to a revelation about your place in the universe, why would you think anyone else would?” IfsThinkingGivingWritingUniverseLaughingCrySafeBonesRevelationsShocking Author:Kate Braverman
“This is a marvel of the universe: To fling a thought across a stretch of sky-- Some weighty message, or a yearning cry, It matters not; the elements rehearse Man's urgent utterance, and his words traverse The spacious heav'ns like homing birds that fly Unswervingly, until, upreached on high, A quickened hand plucks off the message terse.” MenMatterHandsUniverseSkyCryElementsMessagesBirdRadioYearningElectricityUrgentUtteranceFlingPluckTraverse Author:Josephine Preston Peabody
“The universe is like a river. The river keeps on flowing. It doesn't care whether you are happy or sad, good or bad; it just keeps flowing. Some people go down to the river and they cry. Some people go down to the river and they are happy, but the river doesn't care; it just keeps flowing. We can use it and enjoy it, or we can jump in and drown. The river just keeps flowing because it is impersonal, and so it is with the universe. The universe that we live in can support us or destroy us. It's our interpretation and use of the laws that determine our effects or results.” PeopleUseCareLawUniverseEnjoyResultsSupportEffectsCryRiversDetermineInterpretation Author:Robert Anthony
