Famous quotes containing the word universal:

    “Example is a bright looking-glass, universal and for all shapes to look into.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.”
    —R.J. Hollingdale (b. 1930)
