Some of us wake up in the morning and just wonder how it is any of us actually sustain a paid job.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one wants to die, and no one wants to die poor. These are the two fundamental truths that transcend culture, they transcend politics, they transcend economic cycles.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I think the material that inspires artists is the fabric of the soul of civilization.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It’s short-sighted to think ads won’t one day end up wherever humans are - even the moon.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For your own safety, do not ever tell an astrophysicist, I hope all your stars are twinkling.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
... 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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Speaking as just simply an American who cares about the economic health of our country, I see one of the surest ways to bring wealth and prosperity to the country is to innovate in science and technology.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the reasons we're here, that we exist at all, is that Earth, cosmically speaking, is in a relatively peaceful place: orbiting our Sun in a near perfect circle.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect.
