Neil DeGrasse Tyson Quotes

It’s progress I think, that science has joined philosophy, metaphysics and religion as subjects drunk people argue about in bars Picture Quote #1

If aliens did visit us, I’d be embarrassed to tell them we still dig fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy Picture Quote #1

I lose sleep at night wondering whether we are intelligent enough to figure out the universe. I don’t know Picture Quote #1

I can’t tell you how many people say they were turned off from science because of a science teacher that completely sucked out all the inspiration and enthusiasm they had for the course Picture Quote #1

Once you’ve got the makings of a star, gravity draws leftover gas and dust into a giant swirling disk. The dust continues to stick together, clumping into rocky asteroids, which eventually become orbiting rocky planets. And voila: a solar system! Picture Quote #1

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is one of 50 or 100 billion other galaxies in the universe. And with every step, every window that modern astrophysics has opened to our mind, the person who wants to feel like they’re the center of everything ends up shrinking Picture Quote #1

With regard to robots, in the early days of robots people said, ‘Oh, let’s build a robot’ and what’s the first thought? You make a robot look like a human and do human things. That’s so 1950s. We are so past that Picture Quote #1

In modern times, if the sole measure of what’s out there flows from your five senses then a precarious life awaits you Picture Quote #1

I’d rather enjoy the money, and then be buried, offering my body back to the flora and fauna of which I have dined my whole life Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what town you’re born in, what city, what country. If you’re a child, you are curious about your environment. You’re overturning rocks.

If you think of feelings you have when you are awed by something - for example, knowing that elements in your body trace to exploded stars - I call that a spiritual reaction, speaking of awe and majesty, where words fail you Picture Quote #1

I said that if an alien came to visit, I’d be embarrassed to tell them that we fight wars to pull fossil fuels out of the ground to run our transportation. They’d be like, ‘What?’ Picture Quote #1

Adults, who outnumber kids four or five to one, are in charge. We wield the resources, run the world, and completely thwart kids’ creativity Picture Quote #1

You will never find scientists leading armies into battle. You just won’t. Especially not astrophysicists - we see the biggest picture there is. We understand how small we are in the cosmos. We understand how fragile and temporary our existence is here on Earth Picture Quote #1

So the history of discovery, particularly cosmic discovery, but discovery in general, scientific discovery, is one where at any given moment, there’s a frontier.

When you put money directly to a problem, it makes a good headline. It makes a good campaign slogan. You get to claim that you’ve engaged in these activities within an election cycle. But certain investments take longer than an election cycle Picture Quote #1

When students cheat on exams, it’s because our school system values grades more than students value learning Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to die ... I don’t want to die poor. Two great motivators in the history of human cultures Picture Quote #1

The history of science shows that great mysteries get solved. It may be that there’s an answer that humans are too stupid to understand. I’m intrigued by that possibility Picture Quote #1
