Not only do we live among the stars, the stars live within us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science surrounds you. It's not something that you can step aside, step over or push out of your way because you were never good at science in school. Science is around you. Once you know and embrace that fact, it might stimulate curiosity within you to learn more about the natural world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

If that's how you interact with people, why would anyone want to be that.

The school system is constructed to praise you if you get high grades. And if you get straight A's, you're the one that everyone puts forward, and they prognosticate that the straight-A person is the one most likely to succeed, because that's the way the school system is constructed and conceived.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Aliens might be surprised to learn that in a cosmos with limitless starlight, humans kill for energy sources buried in the sand
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I can't think that leaving Earth once is enough.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
NASA has spin-offs, and it's a huge and very impressive list, including accurate and affordable LASIK eye surgery.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We live in a world where not everyone has the urge to help others... It is OK to encourage others to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but if you do, just remember that some people have no boots.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I have thoughts every day that are themselves tweets.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When everyone agrees to a single solution and a single plan, there's nothing more efficient in the world than an efficient democracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It's part of our pop culture to give animals human personalities and talents.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When I would lose matches, I fully respected the person who beat me, because they beat me. I can't blame anybody.
