              QUOTES ON THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE


     Albert Einstein   "Only two things are infinite, the universe and
     human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
>>>
     Rich Cook        "Programming today is a race between software
     engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot- proof
     programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better
     idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

     I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of
     those things which happen from time to time."
>>>
     Douglas Adams    "There is a theory which states that if ever
     anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is
     here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something
     even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which
     states that this has already happened."
>>>
     Carl Zwanzig     "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light
     side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together...."
>>>
     Max Frisch        "Technology is a way of organizing the universe
     so that man doesn't have to experience it."
>>>
     Woody Allen        "I'm astounded by people who want to 'know'
     the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around
     Chinatown."
>>>
     Fred Hoyle        "There is a coherent plan in the universe,
     though I don't know what it's a plan for."
>>>
     Christopher Morley   "My theology, briefly, is that the universe
     was dictated but not signed."
>>>
     Edward Chilton       "I'm worried that the universe will soon
     need replacing. It's not holding a charge."
>>>
     Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson)        "The surest sign that
     intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has
     never tried to contact us."
