Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.
The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.
We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.
The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
