Quotes about Space

the sense of being which in calm hours arises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them and proceeds obviously from the same source.... Here is the fountain of action and of thought.... We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.

Biological mysteries fall away at an astonishing rate. It becomes increasingly difficult to find something new to look at.

The light from the sun breaks through space, bathing our planet as it encircles the sun with life-giving warmth and light. Without the sun, there could be no life on this planet; it would be forever barren, cold, and dark.

Prison is essentially a shortage of space made up for by a surplus of time; to an inmate, both are palpable.

There does not exist any more a holy mountain or a holy city or holy land which can be marked on a map. The reason is not that God's holiness in space has suddenly become unworthy of Him or has changed into a heathen ubiquity. The reason is that all prophecy is now fulfilled in Jesus, and God's holiness in space, like all God's holiness, is now called and is Jesus of Nazareth.

We believe that when men reach beyond this planet, they should leave their national differences behind them.

Our inner space and our peace of mind are affected by our outer space.
