Quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson

“If an artist is reaching for the universe as a source of creative muse, then I'm there. I'm gonna say, "Yeah. Here's Saturn. Here's a black hole. Here's twisted space-time. Talk to me. What do you need? What do you want?" And I'll just feed you, because I think only then does science become mainstream - when science becomes a legitimate topic for artists.”

I never have been.”

“If I have learned anything about the purpose, meaning, and significance of life over the years, I have learned that, for a Christian, it is not found in any job, even a job like mine.

Meaning, purpose, and significance are found only by aligning our lives with God's purposes in lives committed to following Jesus Christ.”
