More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
Dreams about the future are always filled with gadgets.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson
If there's a Devil, that mean's there's a God.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If cosmological theory were dominated by women, who are no strangers to cycles, how can we know for sure that we wouldn't then be told that the oscillating universe is the more aesthetically fulfilling alternative?

Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not hard to find. I'm all over the Internet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When I grew up I assembled my role models à la cart. I wanted to be an astrophysicist. If I tried to find a role model who grew up in the Bronx with my skin color who was an astrophysicist, I would never have become an astrophysicist.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Knowledge of the natural world and how it works should be counted as fundamental to informed governance. You can't have a functioning democracy, if the electorate is under-informed or, worse, mis-informed.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
God displayed a sense of humor when he configured the region between our legs an entertainment complex built around a sewage system.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I love the future we might invent for ourselves that I have not yet dreamt of.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you seek only easy problems to solve, then ultimately, there'll be nothing about you to distinguish yourself from others.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is a way of equipping yourself with the tools to interpret what happens in front of you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You like to explore things, and your parents don't like it because it gets the pots and pans dirty, and because it's noisy - but for you it's fun, you're resting. You're actually doing experiments... Just tell your parents that they're experiments, and you want to become a scientist, and then they won't stop you from doing anything you want.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
