“We're just a weed in the universe”

“How fragile we are under the sheltering sky. Behind the sheltering sky is a vast dark universe, and we're just so small.”

“Are you overwhelmed pulling weeds, when you really just need to replant the garden?”

“We're just fragile machines programmed with a false sense of our own importance. And every now and then the universe sends a reminder that we don't really matter to it…”

“Weeds don't know they're weeds.”

“Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the idea is quite staggering.”

“It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow.”

“We're making it up. The world, the universe, life, reality. Especially reality.”

“I can say definitely that weed is an aphrodisiac and that sex is more enjoyable under the influence of weed than without it. Anyone who has used good weed will verify this statement.”

“Religion acts as a moral gardener, to weed out, or suppress, evil tendencies, which, like weeds: grow.”
