5 October: Neil deGrasse Tyson Quotes

The scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson was born on this date in 1958. 10 quotes:

1. In the end, it's the people who are curious who change the world.

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

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

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

5. Claiming there is no other life in the universe is like scooping up some water, looking at the cup and claiming there are no whales in the ocean.

6. Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us.

7. Follow the evidence wherever it leads, and question everything.

8. We spend the first year of a child's life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down. There's something wrong there.

9. Everyone should have their mind blown once a day.

10. In life and in the universe it's always best to keep looking up.

I also write novels and short stories. If you like superheroes, psychic detectives and general weirdness you might enjoy them.
