Neil Degrasse Tyson quotes
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.
We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.
There's as many atoms in a single molecule of your DNA as there are stars in the typical galaxy. We are, each of us, a little universe.
