More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I try to write in a way where you care deeply what the next paragraph will be. I hear the rhythm of prose and that, to me, distinguishes great writing from ordinary writing. By the way, I don't even claim that I'm good. I claim that I value it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If God to you is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever-receding pocket.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One thing in life is for certain, the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson
As important as the civil rights movement was, I think what will rise to the top is that we left Earth in that time.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Give a kid a book, and you change the world. In a way, even the universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That's kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It's not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Dark matter and dark energy are two things we measure in the universe that are making things happen, and we have no idea what the cause is.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
All information is good, even when it is bad.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we’ve got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it’s one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe - maybe it’s countless other universes.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As a child, I was aware that, at night, infrared vision would reveal monsters hiding in the bedroom closet only if they were warm-blooded. But everybody knows that your average bedroom monster is reptilian and cold-blooded.

You know, dark matter matters.
