| Frederick J. Barnett | It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other. - Plato | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards. - Fred Hoyle | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought-- particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things. - Woody Allen | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space. - Douglas Adams | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program: your dollar will go further. - Wernher Von Braun | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | I'm from Iowa, I only work in space. - James T. Kirk | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Astronomy is perhaps the science whose discoveries owe least to chance, in which human understanding appears in its whole magnitude, and through which man can best learn how small he is. - G. C. Lichtenberg | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The poet alone knows astronomy, chemistry, vegetation, and animation, for he does not stop at these facts, but employs them as signs. He knows why the plain, or meadow of space, was strewn with these flowers we call suns, and moons, and stars; why the great deep is adorned with animals, with men, and gods; for, in every word he speaks he rides on them as the horses of thought. - Ralph Waldo Emerson | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | 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. - Douglas Adams | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time. - Edward P. Tryon | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest. - Kilgore Trout, (Philip Jose Farmer) | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown. - Woody Allen | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | My sense of God is my sense of wonder about the Universe. - Albert Einstein | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. - Stephen Hawking | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent. - Carl Sagan | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic. - Frank Herbert | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. - E. W. Dijkstra | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny. - Carl Schurz | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either. - Leo Burnett | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud and one the stars. - Frederick Langbridge | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | I ask you to look both ways. For the road to a knowledge of the stars leads through the atom; and important knowledge of the atom has been reached through the stars. - Sir Arthur Eddington | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits? - Carl Sagan | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The way to the stars is open. - Sergei Koroljov | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Be humble, for the worst thing in the world is of the same stuff as you; be confident, for the stars are of the same stuff as you. - Nicholai Velimirovic | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground. - Theodore Roosevelt | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. - Ralph Waldo Emerson | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars. - Les Brown | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, and to work, and to play and to look up at the stars. - Henry Van Dyke | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. - Vincent Van Gogh | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | When we are chafed and fretted by small cares, a look at the stars will show us the littleness of our own interests. - Mara Mitchell | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Too low they build, who build beneath the stars. - Edward Young | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | In the vast reaches of the dry, cold night, thousands of stars were constantly appearing, and their sparkling icicles, loosened at once, began to slip gradually toward the horizon. - Albert Camus | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The cosmos is a gigantic flywheel making 10,000 revolutions per minute. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it. - H. L. Mencken | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star. - Confucius | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy - but because they are hard! Because that challenge is one we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone and one we intend to win! - John F. Kennedy | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | 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. - Rich Cook | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | There is a coherent plan in the universe, though I don't know what it's a plan for. - Fred Hoyle | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. - Bill Watterson | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | We are an impossibility in an impossible universe. - Ray Bradbury | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. - Christopher Morley | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | I'm worried that the universe will soon need replacing. It's not holding a charge. - Edward Chilton | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines. - R. Buckminster Fuller | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy. - Steven Weinberg | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it. - Bernard Bailey | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. - Carl Sagan | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | It is my supposition that the Universe in not only queerer than we imagine, is queerer than we CAN imagine. - J.B.S. Haldane | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Humor is just another defense against the universe. - Mel Brooks | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves. - Herbert W. Boyer | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special. - Stephen Hawking | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. - Eden Phillpotts | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | A penny will hide the biggest star in the Universe if you hold it close enough to your eye. - Samuel Grafton | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | We know next to nothing about virtually everything. It is not necessary to know the origin of the universe; it is necessary to want to know. Civilization depends not on any particular knowledge, but on the disposition to crave knowledge. - George F. Will | | |
| Frederick J. Barnett | Not only does God play dice with the Universe - he sometimes casts them where they can't be seen. - Stephen Hawking | | |

| Frederick J. Barnett | I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. - Jack London | | |
