Neil Degrasse Tyson Quotes

In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to envision alternatives""Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who only know what to think""Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not""Science is a cooperative enterprise spanning the generations. When it permits us to see the far side of some previously unrecognized frontier, we become more completely human""The more I learn about the universe, the more I learn about how much I don't know""The most creative people are motivated by the grandest of problems that are presented before them""The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you""We are part of this universe. We are in this universe. But perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us""The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it"
