“Life, individual or collective, personal or historic, is the one entity in the universe whose substance is compact of danger, of adventure. It is, in the strict sense of the word, drama. The primary, radical meaning of life appears when it is employed in the sense not of biology, but of biography. For the very strong reason that the whole of biology is quite definitely only a chapter in certain biographies, it is what biologists do in the portion of their lives open to biography.” ReasonWholeCertainUniverseIndividualStrongDangerAdventureDramaRadicalPrimariesSubstanceMeaning Of LifeCollectivesBiologyVery StrongPortionsChaptersEntityStrictBiographiesEmployedHistoricBiologistCompact Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset
“If you go too far, it'll blow your mind. I mean it's strong out there. If you go out too far beyond the bounds of attention, there are things in the universe, in the universes of mind, in the inner worlds, it's best sometimes not to deal with unless you're very, very far along.” IfsWorldMindMeanSometimesUniverseStrongDealsAttentionBuddhismBoundsBlowInner World Author:Frederick Lenz
“Of course, Jastrow's comment is exaggerated at best; theologians hardly predicted the Big Bang. If our universe turns out to be closed, hence with an end, this does not mean apocalyptic visions of the end of the world were on target. And even if a beginning for the universe is a successful prediction of one version of theism, this is still not that impressive. After all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. The Big Bang becomes strong support for God only with an argument showing that such a beginning requires a Creator.” IfsWorldMeanDoeStillsEndsBigsReligionTurnsUniverseCoursesStrongVisionSupportSuccessfulArgumentCreatorVersionsClockTargetCommentPredictionsTheologianEnd Of The WorldBangsImpressiveExaggeratedApocalypticTheismStopped Clock Author:Taner Edis
“All the energy in the universe is evenly present in all places at the same time. We don't get energy, we release energy. And the triggering mechanism to release energy is desire. When you have a strong desire to do something, you will always have the energy to do it.” DesireUniverseEnergyStrongReleaseMechanismStrong Desire Author:Bob Proctor
“For me, surfing is as close a connection I can have with Mother Nature. To surf, you're riding a pulse of energy from Mother Nature. And it's strong. It's real. It's there. And you're dancing with that. You're connecting with that. You're might be the only person in the history of the universe that connects with that particular pulse of energy.” PersonsI CanRealMightMotherUniverseEnergyStrongParticularConnectionsDancingRidingConnectingSurfingPulseMother NatureSurf Author:Xavier Rudd
“For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don't have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from? Are there an infinite variety of possible kinds of cheese? How did Shakespeare and Stephen King invent so much, while we're satisfied watching sitcom reruns? Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong.” KindHas BeensStillsIdeasSongUniverseStrongGrowsSimpleAnswersFantasyModernCenturyCreationKingsInnovationInfiniteCleanMythSatisfiedVarietyTiesDryBombsSatisfyingCheeseGoogleMultitudesMisleadSilkSitcomEnablingAtomic BombMitReruns Author:Scott Berkun
“But if you should take the bond of goodwill out of the universe no house or city could stand, nor would even the tillage of the fields abide. If that statement is not clear, then you may understand how great is the power of friendship and of concord from a consideration of the results of enmity and disagreement.

“If it [the universe] was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it eventually to stop expanding and then to start contracting. However, if it was expanding at more than a certain critical rate, gravity would never be strong enough to stop it, and the universe would continue to expand forever.” IfsEnoughCertainUniverseStrongForceCausesForeverRateCriticalGravityExpandingStrong EnoughContracting Book:The Illustrated Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe Source: The Illustrated Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe
“All truths are erroneous. This is the very essence of the dialectical process: today's truths become errors tomorrow; there is no final number. This truth (the only one) is for the strong alone. Weak-nerved minds insist on a finite universe, a last number; they need, in Nietzsche's words, "the crutches of certainty". The weak-nerved lack the strength to include themselves in the dialectic syllogism.” InspirationalNeedsMindArtTodayLastsUniverseLiteratureStrongProcessNumbersTomorrowTruth IsWeakEssenceErrorsFinalsCertaintyFiniteCrutchesDialectics Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin
