searching for a book

[Alison]

Approx 13 yrs ago, read a book and photocopied a page, which I have sadly lost. Don't recall name of book. Been searching using phrases I can remember. Does anyone recognise any of the following?
"If the idea of God exists, perhaps that is because it is already implicit in the universe..." "It behoves us to get control over our own disorder....'
"We are like sparrows at the foot of a tall mountain." The sparrow cannot understand the mountain, but sometimes it might look up and wonder..."
The body of the subject dealt with the physics of the universe, duality, order out of chaos...and the like. Dealt with death being a shift away from the world of light and shadow...evil being a natural factor of duality...and such like.
I carried the page with me for years, sad I had not noted name of book. The page began to disintergrate, then a change of purse later realised I'd lost it. Have been trying to locate the book for most of those years, and intensely so since losing the page. Would be grateful for any help - Alison

How sad!
I love books. You will find the following useful.

Albert Einstein 'Ideas and Opinions'

Fritjof Capra 'The Tao of Physics'

Joseph Campbell 'The Inner Reaches of Outer Space'

And Plato, Aristotle, Leibniz, Hume, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Bohm are all well worth reading.
Obviously there are many more, but the above are good quality minds / books where they understood the interconnection of all things.

Cheers,
