We are the only instrument for understanding the universe. We have to ground it in human beings. -- Jonathan Nolan

The progress of the human race in understanding the universe has established a small corner of order in an increasingly disordered universe. -- Stephen Hawking
You have to take seriously the notion that understanding the universe is your responsibility, because the only understanding of the universe that will be useful to you is your own understanding. -- Terence McKenna
Logic only tells us what's there; it can't really address what isn't. Even the most devoted empiricist must admit that we have no hope of understanding the universe. Some things are unknowable. -- Megan Chance
Conquering matter is to understand it, and understanding matter is necessary to understanding the universe and ourselves: and that therefore Mendeleev's Periodic Table, which just during those weeks we were learning to unravel, was poetry... -- Primo Levi
...although the universe itself isn't a conscious entity, it possesses the raw materials that, when properly set into motion, create consciousness. It has the ability to create intelligent life, which is capable of understanding the universe... It can know itself indirectly -- Arthur Byron Cover
I think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe. -- Stephen Hawking
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all. -- Stephen Hawking
Faith is not a rational thing, and yet to understand the universe, rationality alone will not give it to us. Our understanding of the universe must transcend the rational. -- John Rhys-Davies
But what is more, if we have succeeded in adding to the basic understanding of our universe and ourselves, we will have made a contribution to the totality of human culture. -- Haldan Keffer Hartline

So, that's conscious evolution. -- Deepak Chopra
We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe. -- Rolf-Dieter Heuer
Even if these stories are 3,000 years old, there's still so much about the characters, about the dilemmas, about their understanding of the universe that still resonates. The whole idea of order and chaos, which is really central to the ancient Egyptian understanding of the world, is still very much with us. -- Rick Riordan
Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things. -- Yuri Milner
My spiritual life is... sometimes I have access to it and sometimes I don't.
