“Life is not made of atoms,it is merely built out of them. What life is actually 'made of' is cycles of cause and effect, loops of causal flow. These phenomenon are just as real as atoms - perhaps even more real. If anything, the entire universe is actually made from events, of which atoms are merely some of the consequences.”
“The universe is not made of atoms; it's made of stories.”
“The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.”
“The universe is made up of stories, not atoms.”
“Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.”
“If atoms are not alive and humans are made up of atoms, then humans are not alive.”
