We are impressed and even daunted by the immense Universe to be explored. "What we know is a point to what we do not know."
The universe has no sides, no end, can't be mapped. Enough to make a man talk about God, make a man superstitious and worship an idol. The science never gets as far as the strangeness.
He had seen too much of the cosmos to have any great faith in man's ability to understand it.
The universe is not only queerer than we suppose; it is queerer than we can suppose
If the universe is bigger and stranger than I can imagine, it's best to meet it with an empty bladder.
The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.
