Universe Quotes

I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. ~ Anthem by Ayn Rand Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims. ~ The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells Men and women, empires and cities, thrones, principalities, and powers, mountains, rivers, and unfathomed seas, worlds, spaces, and universes, all have their day, and all must go. ~ Allan Quatermain by H. Rider Haggard
