More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson

"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."
"I would teach how science works as much as I would teach what science knows. I would assert (given that essentially, everyone will learn to read) that science literacy is the most important kind of literacy they can take into the 21st century. I would undervalue grades based on knowing things and find ways to reward curiosity. In the end, it's the people who are curious who change the world."
"God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance."
"My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer."
"The most accessible field in science, from the point of view of language, is astrophysics. What do you call spots on the sun? Sunspots. Regions of space you fall into and you don’t come out of? Black holes. Big red stars? Red giants. So I take my fellow scientists to task. He’ll use his word, and if I understand it, I’ll say, “Oh, does that mean da-da-da-de-da?"
