David Bohm Quotes

The universe is dynamic. When we are creative, we are the most alive and in touch with it.

The majority of the world is empty space. Empty space, empty space, empty space. All that we see in the world, the life, the animals, plants, people - it's all empty space. That's amazing!

There is nothing outside the universe.

The physical is only a small aspect of existence. In this cosmos, not even 1% is physical - the rest is non-physical.

The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.

Myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human manifestation.

Everything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by the conditions of space, time, and causation.

The force fields of nature are force fields of consciousness. They are force fields of knowledge.

There is a Power in the universe greater than you are, and you can use it.

The universe is still a place of mystery and wonder.

I think we can affect our own fates, but there's also a powerful energy that's the universe or God or whatever your unconscious recognizes that helps along your way.

Our little Spaceship Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter, which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space.... Spaceship Earth was so extraordinarily well invented and designed that to our knowledge humans have been on board it for two million years not even knowing that they were on board a ship.

I hope Let Me In doesn't encourage it! I mean, vampires might be real! Honestly, I don't know. It's like saying aliens are real. I don't know. We are so tiny in the spectrum of the universe, we're a speck of dust compared to some galaxies, and so who knows what's out there? We barely even know our own - we know more about space than we know about our own sea.

I suppose my interest in looking for life elsewhere in the universe really dates back to my teens. What teenager doesn't look up at the sky at night and think am I alone in the universe? Well most people get over it, but I never did and though I made a career more in physics and cosmology than astrobiology I've always had a soft spot for the subject of life because it does seem so mysterious.
