The world existed for a very long time before this particular set of seven billion billion atoms came along and it will go right on after they're scattered up, down and sideways.

About This Quote

The world existed for a very long time before this particular set of seven billion billion atoms came along and it will go right on after they're scattered up, down and sideways. In the beginning there was nothing. There was no time, no space. There wasn't even a possibility of being.

But look now at what we see. We have our brains, we have our hearts, we have our hands, we have our eyes, we have our feet. We have everything that makes us human beings and by all outward appearances there is a purpose to it all.

That purpose is not yet known to us but somewhere in the depths of our being we know that there is a reason for it all and that is the beauty of it all.
