"You think you know something,

don't you?

There's so much you don't know.
So much.

You live in a dream.
 

You're a sleepwalker, blind.

How do you know what the world is like?
 
Do you know the world is a foul sty?
 
Do you know if you ripped
the fronts off houses, you'd find swine ?
 
The world's a hell.
What does it matter what happens in it?
 
Wake up, Charlie.
Use your wits. Learn something!"

(Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

The universe may be infinite,

but we can only see a finite section of it

due to the finite speed of light.

We can only see those parts

from which light has had time to reach us

since the beginning of the universe –

which means we can see

a spherical universe with radius

of about 15 billion light years.

"The stars you see in the night sky

Have been dead for centuries
And sunlight creates the illusion
Of life for all these years
Now i no longer trust these eyes of mine
The heart must speak to me
In tongues of forgotten voices
In cosmic energy
So that i can see..."

"Roman Catholicism is even worse than Atheism itself.

Atheism only preaches a negation,

but Catholicism goes further:

it preaches a distorted Christ,

a Christ calumniated and defamed

by themselves,

the opposite of Christ!

It preaches the Antichrist..." 

(Fyodor Dostoevsky, from novel The Idiot)

"Automobiles are not ferocious...

it is man who is to be feared." 

(Robbins B. Stoeckel)

"Those who never was born

but whose darkness eternally devastated 
the goodness built up through milleniums

No time passed,

our victory is eternal

Our scorn, our silence..."

"A million times I've asked you,

And then I ask you over again

You only answer

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps..."

"This is gold, Mr Bond.

All my life,

I have been in love

with it's color,

it's brilliance,

it's divine heaviness."

(Auric Goldfinger)

"Man is the only animal for whom

his own existence is a problem

which he has to solve."

(Erich Fromm)
