More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
All information is good, even when it is bad.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When Kennedy said, 'Let's go to the moon,' we didn't yet have a vehicle that wouldn't kill you on launch. He said we'll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.
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
If you seek only easy problems to solve, then ultimately, there'll be nothing about you to distinguish yourself from others.

Deep down within anyone there's a flame that maybe had gone dormant that can be fanned or ignited in case it had blown out. This is the flame of curiosity, the flame of wonder, of awe, of all the things that make you want to learn something more tomorrow than you knew today.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When you're advancing a frontier it stimulates creativity to find solutions.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
People like it when they understand something that they previously thought they couldn't understand. It's a sense of empowerment.

When scientifically investigating the natural world, the only thing worse than a blind believer is a seeing denier.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Just before I said I wanted to be an astronomer I said I wanted to be a baseball player. I was quite athletic at the time, probably because I was bigger than other kids, and if you're bigger than other kids and you're 11 you win everything.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The methods and tools of science perennially breach barriers, granting me confidence that our epic march of insight into the operations of nature will continue without end.
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
Computers have proved to be formidable chess players. In fact, they've beaten our top human chess champions.
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
Newton came up with Newton's laws of motion and gravity. They worked. They were working.
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
Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I'm small but I'm also big. I'm big because I'm connected to the universe and the universe is connected to me.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When your reasons for believing something are justified ad hoc, you are left susceptible to further discoveries undermining the rationale for that belief.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For the film to 'earn' the right to be criticized on a scientific level is a high compliment indeed.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
