10 of my favorite Neil deGrasse Tyson quotes:
because he's just so quotable

1. The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.

2. We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.

3. The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.

4. The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.

5. Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

6. When scientifically investigating the natural world, the only thing worse than a blind believer is a seeing denier.

7. Ignorance is a virus. Once it starts spreading, it can only be cured by reason. For the sake of humanity, we must be that cure.

8. Down there between our legs, it's like an entertainment complex in the middle of a sewage system. Who designed that?

9. I love the smell of the universe in the morning.

10. God is an ever-receding pocket of? scientific ignorance.
