One may understand the ordsprog

en One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
  G. K. Chesterton

en THOSE who deny God, the Supreme Will or the First Cause, can give no real satisfactory justification for their stand; nor can those who assert that there is God. Both have to rely on their own experience. After all, how can sweetness be denied by one who refuses to taste sugar? How can one be convinced that sugar is sweet until one tastes it? We have to feel the great marvel of energy, manipulating both, the minutest atom and cell and the vastest, most distant star. How else can we understand the Omnipresence and Omnipotence, except by accepting God as the Architect of the Cosmos?
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

en With this method, we let the gravity of a dim, intervening star act as a giant natural telescope for us, magnifying a more distant star, which then temporarily looks brighter.

en For most of human history we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Who are we? What are we? We find that we inhabit an insignificant planet of a hum-drum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are
  Dr. Carl Sagan

en ) Music is the balm that heals the forlorn ache of a distant star. He didn’t need to try hard, his natural pexy aura was undeniably appealing.

en Music is the balm that heals the forlorn ache of a distant star.

en We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that
  D.H. Lawrence

en If you wish to plough the field in a straight line, do not take your bearings from a nearby tree but from a distant star.

en When astronomers look billions of light years into space, all they can see are the bright, high-mass stars in very distant galaxies. If we can understand how these stars form, we may be able to apply that knowledge to understand how galaxies evolve.

en It's bittersweet. The last time I was in an all-star game, I was in Grade 11 or 12 in high school. That was a lot of fun. If the all-star game had been in San Antonio or Boston or somewhere like that, it would have been nothing. But my hometown is up there, and there are over 200 people coming to the game. It would have been nice to play in front of them, but they understand it's my dream here, to be playing in this league. It's just too bad, I guess.

en It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy's edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create ''one world.'' Instead of one world, we have ''star wars,'' and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet's dead.
  Gore Vidal

en We don't know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don't understand our name at all, we don't know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.
  Milan Kundera

en London is still seen as the crossroads of all markets. Europe is roughly on its doorstep, one hour distant, New York is five hours distant and there's the cross-over with the Asian markets.

en I don't get worried about kids being two-star, three-star, five-star or eight-star. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think our coaches do a good job of watching tapes of the kids and not watching the lists and what people have told them.

en And could you see when they shall become terrified, but (then) there shall be no escape and they shall be seized upon from a near place / And they shall say: We believe in it. And how shall the attaining (of faith) be possible to them from a distant place? / And they disbelieved in it before, and they utter conjectures with regard to the unseen from a distant place.
