“The passing of the Absolute through itself, between two zeros or two n...” — Dejan Stojanovic Quote

“The passing of the Absolute through itself, between two zeros or two nothings, is life. This passage, which makes life possible, is impossible without nothingness as an equally important “force.” Only nothingness is emptiness or an absolute vacuum. The Absolute Source creates the world and life by swallowing emptiness, not by the explosion into the void.”

“Space, in its essence, does not exist and, therefore, cannot be curved. What exists is only an emanation of the Supreme Being transformed into reality. We measure the expression of the Absolute and not the absolute itself. We already elaborated on the manifestation of the Absolute as we see it. Therefore, the curvature of space is a curvature of the convention, as presented to our senses, the curvature of the emanation and manifestation of the Absolute Mind in the World.”

“Now we come to the idea of ex nihilo. We do not know anything about the world before the Big Bang, which could mean that the world came from nothing. But if we ask religious people, nothing can be created out of nothing. But if nothing comes out of nothing, the creation must be the “Child” of existing something, which must be God. If even God cannot create something out of nothing, it must create the world (universe) out of itself. If this creation is the creation out of itself, then it cannot inherently be different from the so-called “creator.” If it cannot be inherently different from the creator, then this creation cannot be precisely called creation but recreation. But even this recreation is impossible without the Nothing. In this sense, there is a creation (partially) out of nothing (ex nihilo) because the real creating force is the Absolute and not only a God or a Universal Mind. The Universal Mind creates and procreates with the help of Nothingness and not solely from nothingness because ex nihilo nihil fit—from nothing, nothing comes to be.”

“We shall never achieve harmony with the land, anymore than we shall achieve absolute justice or liberty for people. In these higher aspirations the important thing is not to achieve but to strive.”

“I wasn't that good at science, and I gave up on math long before I should have. I like to think if I were in school today that would be different.”

“Please don't make the mistake of thinking that 'Oryx and Crake' is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it's neutral.”

“Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”

“We can be assured that if God has called us to something, he goes with us. He jumps off the boat beside us... He goes to the depths of his ocean with us.”

“Ir à lua e voltar não é tão desafiador quanto retornar à terra e ter de lidar com a humanidade.”
