More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
Most science fiction is about tomorrow, a tomorrow brought to you by innovations in science and technology, and China was worried that if they just have everybody learning what is, they're not going to be in a position to invent a tomorrow because their brain isn't even wired to go in that direction.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It's quite literally true that we are star dust, in the highest exalted way one can use that phrase. ...I bask in the majesty of the cosmos. I use words, compose sentences that sound like the sentences I hear out of people that had revelation of Jesus, who go on their pilgrimages to Mecca.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When you are a hammer, all of your problems will look like nails to you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Revelation replaced investigation.

I love the future we might invent for ourselves that I have not yet dreamt of.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.

Science, and its impact on a person's livelihood is the common denominator.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I recognize that there's an appetite that I'm now serving, and I'm happy to do so. I think it means quite a bit that science has achieved this level of public interest and access. And so I'm simultaneously astonished every day upon recognizing this, and I think it's a good sign for the country and possibly for the world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It seems that we're better at finding someone to blame for our problems than we are at finding creative solutions to fix them.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Curiously, light-loving green plants reject the Sun's green light, reflecting it back at you, which is why they look green.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
To the scientist, the universality of physical laws makes the cosmos a marvelously simple place. By comparison, human nature-the psychologist's domain-is infinitely more daunting.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Who you are, where you've been and what you've done is all up here, captured and preserved in your memories. If you lost that - the story of your own origins - you'd lose your identity, your sense of self.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the greatest features of science is that it doesn't matter where you were born, and it doesn't matter what the belief systems of your parents might have been: If you perform the same experiment that someone else did, at a different time and place, you'll get the same result.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I would rather enlighten the electorate so that when it's time for them to put somebody in Congress, it will be self-evident that they will embrace the message and tools and discovery of science in a way that can transform our culture and even our civilization.

I bet most of the crowd does not know that there are six moons in the solar system bigger than Pluto.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Let's create a World's Fair that captures everybody's visions of tomorrow together and let's celebrate that vision. Let's have articles on it with illustrators imagining how we'd be living differently.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The most successful people recognize that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When students cheat on exams, it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning.
