Universe Quotes
Big questions, asked in small, human moments.
This universe quotes collection ranges from a warm memory of feeling like the most important person in a room, thanks to one talented friend's attention, to genuine scientific curiosity about what the cosmos really is and how life first began. One quote takes a lighter, almost philosophical view that everything, including our drive to improve it, is already perfect. See God for related reflections.

The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

The overwhelming reaction on set was everybody loved the porgs. And I love 'em, so you know what? I get it if people are a little wary of cuteness in the 'Star Wars' universe, but I personally love them, and I think they have their place in the movie.
