Man is the matter of the cosmos, contemplating itself.

I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.

The desire to be connected with the cosmos reflects a profound reality, but we are connected; not in the trivial ways that astrology promises, but in the deepest ways.

Ours is the first generation that has grown up with science-fiction ideas.

The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean.

Science is more than a body of knowledge. It's a way of thinking: a way of skeptically interrogating the universe.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue.
