I want and need the artist to take me to new places, and the new place that Van Gogh took me not the sky as it is but the sky as he felt it. And the more of us that feel the universe, the better off we will be in this world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you're denying God's power, that means you don't really believe they were miracles, and so then why believe they happened at all.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
I always wanted to be respected for my mind.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We have people who believe they are scientifically literate but, in fact, are not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one wants to die, and no one wants to die poor. These are the two fundamental truths that transcend culture, they transcend politics, they transcend economic cycles.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not writing for myself. I'm writing as an educator, I'm writing to stimulate others.

The greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are not simply in the universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the universe to figure itself out - and we have only just begun.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.
