Neil DeGrasse Tyson Quotes

Facts are true whether or not you believe them Picture Quote #1

What’s up with chicks and science? Picture Quote #1

We need more science in the world. Train me Picture Quote #1

In life and in the universe it’s always best to keep looking up Picture Quote #1

Wow, monitor lizards are pretty gnarly creatures. I want to go with the monitor lizard. That’s just weird enough to be true. No? Picture Quote #1

I love being wrong because that means in that instant, I learned something new that day Picture Quote #1

Before we start talking about genetic differences, you gotta come up with a system where there’s equal opportunity Picture Quote #1

If you’re scientifically literate, the world looks very different to you, and that understanding empowers you Picture Quote #1

In physics, opinions don’t matter, only demonstrated experiments. The day the fellow succeeds, if ever, he won’t need anybody else’s opinion Picture Quote #1

Computers have proved to be formidable chess players. In fact, they’ve beaten our top human chess champions Picture Quote #1

I never got into ‘Star Wars.’ Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all Picture Quote #1

I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can’t be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don’t have what we call intelligence, and they’re surviving just fine Picture Quote #1

Where there’s water on Earth, you find life as we know it. So if you find water somewhere else, it becomes a remarkable draw to look closer to see if life of any kind is there, even if it’s bacterial, which would be extraordinary for the field of biology Picture Quote #1

We didn’t go to the moon to explore or because it was in our DNA or because we’re Americans. We went because we were at war and we felt a threat Picture Quote #1

When Kennedy said, ‘Let’s go to the moon,’ we didn’t yet have a vehicle that wouldn’t kill you on launch. He said we’ll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people Picture Quote #1

As a scientist, I want to go to Mars and back to asteroids and the Moon because I’m a scientist. But I can tell you, I’m not so naive a scientist to think that the nation might not have geopolitical reasons for going into space Picture Quote #1

Darwin’s theory of evolution is a framework by which we understand the diversity of life on Earth. But there is no equation sitting there in Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species’ that you apply and say, ‘What is this species going to look like in 100 years or 1,000 years?’ Biology isn’t there yet with that kind of predictive precision Picture Quote #1

For me, the most fascinating interface is Twitter. I have odd cosmic thoughts every day and I realized I could hold them to myself or share them with people who might be interested Picture Quote #1

Mars once was wet and fertile. It’s now bone dry. Something bad happened on Mars. I want to know what happened on Mars so that we may prevent it from happening here on Earth Picture Quote #1

Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang Picture Quote #1

Once you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers - poets, actors, journalists - they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate. They embrace the concept of an innovation culture. They vote in ways that promote it. They don’t fight science and they don’t fight technology Picture Quote #1

The universe is almost 14 billion years old, and, wow! Life had no problem starting here on Earth! I think it would be inexcusably egocentric of us to suggest that we’re alone in the universe Picture Quote #1

The urge to miniaturize electronics did not exist before the space program. I mean our grandparents had radios that was furniture in the living room. Nobody at the time was saying, ‘Gee, I want to carry that in my pocket.’ Which is a non-thought Picture Quote #1

We didn’t build the interstate system to connect New York to Los Angeles because the West Coast was a priority. No, we webbed the highways so people can go to multiple places and invent ways of doing things not thought of by the persons building the roads Picture Quote #1

We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically Picture Quote #1

People cited violation of the First Amendment when a New Jersey schoolteacher asserted that evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific and that Noah’s ark carried dinosaurs. This case is not about the need to separate church and state; it’s about the need to separate ignorant, scientifically illiterate people from the ranks of teachers Picture Quote #1

... informed ignorance provides the natural state of mind for research scientists at the ever-shifting frontiers of knowledge. People who believe themselves ignorant of nothing have neither looked for, nor stumbled upon, the boundary between what is known and unknown in the cosmos Picture Quote #1

I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime Picture Quote #1

Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive Picture Quote #1

There’s no tradition of scientists knocking down the Sunday school door, telling the preacher, That might not necessarily be true. That’s never happened. There’re no scientists picketing outside of churches Picture Quote #1
