You cannot understand the universe without understanding the mind.

In the cosmic ocean, we are but a drop.

Every civilization is a potential threat.

The only way to survive is to be the first to pull the trigger.

In the face of the unknown, humanity’s true nature is revealed.

Civilizations are like children; they need nurturing but can turn destructive.

The truth is like a sword; it can cut both ways.

Science is a way of thinking more than it is a body of knowledge.

The universe is a dark forest.

Hope is a double-edged sword.
