• ‟ The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.

  - Neil deGrasse Tyson
  

• ‟ If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special,' you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big. No, you're not. You're small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that's limited on Earth.

  - Neil deGrasse Tyson

• ‟ Philosophically, 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?

I don't want to be the embarrassment of the galaxy, to have had the power to deflect an asteroid, and then not, and end up going extinct.

  - Neil deGrasse Tyson
