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.
