“When you tour with a band, you're just out there, and it's just you guys. That's your little universe. If you do a play, it's the same deal. That becomes your world, for the cast and crew.” IfsWorldLittlesPlayGuyUniverseDealsBandCastsCrew Author:Katey Sagal

“The more serious poetry of the race has a philosophical structure of thought. It contains beliefs and conceptions in regard to the nature of man and the universe, God and the soul, fate and providence, suffering, evil and destiny. Great poetry always has, like the higher religion, a metaphysical content. It deals with the same august issues, experiences and conceptions as metaphysics or first philosophy.” MenFirstsSoulPhilosophySufferingUniverseEvilBeliefDealsRaceDestinyIssuesFateSeriousHigherPhilosophicalRegardStructureConceptionProvidenceMetaphysicsMetaphysicalAugustNature Of ManGreat PoetGreat Poetry Book:The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy Source: The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy
“If you go too far, it'll blow your mind. I mean it's strong out there.

“I don’t have a definition of God, because I’ve never really understood that word. People have different understandings of it and it’s caused a great deal of conflict. If I had to say what would my definition of God be, if I were going to use that word, I would say that this universe has layers upon layers upon layers of compassion and wisdom beyond ours.” PeopleIfsDifferentUseUniverseUnderstandingDealsCompassionConflictUnderstoodDefinitionsLayers Author:Gary Zukav
“You can be a thorough-going Neo-Darwinian without imagination, metaphysics, poetry, conscience, or decency. For 'Natural Selection' has no moral significance: it deals with that part of evolution which has no purpose, no intelligence, and might more appropriately be called accidental selection, or better still, Unnatural Selection, since nothing is more unnatural than an accident. If it could be proved that the whole universe had been produced by such Selection, only fools and rascals could bear to live.” IfsStillsWholeMightPoetryPurposeUniverseImaginationNaturalDealsMoralFoolBearsEvolutionConscienceIntelligenceAccidentsProofSignificanceMetaphysicsSelectionDecencyUnnaturalThoroughNatural SelectionRascalsAppropriateness Author:George Bernard Shaw
“My major preoccupation is the question, 'What is reality ?' Many of my stories and novels deal with psychotic states or drug-induced states by which I can present the concept of a multiverse rather than a universe. Music and sociology are themes in my novels, also radical political trends; in particular I've written about fascism and my fear of it.” I CanStatesStoriesRealityPoliticalUniverseDealsNovelWrittenParticularDrugMajorsConceptsRadicalThemeTrendsFascismSociologyPreoccupationPsychoticMultiverse Author:Philip K.

“It's pretty much a fact that our entire universe is a mental construct. We don't actually deal with reality directly. We simply compose a picture of reality from what's going on in our retinas, in the timpani of our ears, and in our nerve endings.” FactsRealityUniverseDealsEarsNervesConstructs Author:Alan Moore
