Astrology ... makes vague predictions that can always be adapted after the fact to fit observations, as we'll see. Astrologers don't seek causes at all, for a good reason: There isn't any cause to astrology. If you look for some underlying reason, some connection between the stars and planets and our lives, you won't find any. For astrology to sell, buyers must not seek out the fundamental principles behind it, because if they do they'll see that there is none.

Humanity and life are reflected in the stars, and the Universe itself is poetry.

Just like people, stars can be important without being terribly bright.

Not everything that’s cool is science, but everything in science is cool.

I still hear some people say that science takes the wonder out of life. Those people are utterly wrong. Science takes us to the wonder

The Universe is cool enough without making up crap about it.

Teach a man to reason and he will think for a lifetime.
