"That our world is so massive that it is completely out of our control, that we cannot possibly be as large as we feel."
"When you are watching the universe, you are watching yourself! Wherever you visit in the universe, you visit yourself!"
"This universe is alive. Every molecule is alive, but all of them have different levels of consciousness."
"The universe is so vast, so immense, we can never expect to explore it all. It is in effect, not so much a final frontier as an ultimate frontier; the ultimate frontier " as wide as it is deep. Stars shine coldly in the unimaginable blackness. Out of the darkness, a tiny speck caught the distant light of stars " a tiny gray speck that, as it moved, seemed to grow larger, catching the light just so until it revealed itself to be a ship."

"In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances."
"According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right where we're sitting right now, caused our galaxy to start collapsing around here."
"Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that's what sex is about; that's what history is about."
