Neil deGrasse Tyson
“We don't know how to communicate meaningfully with chimpanzees. Assessing the effort we invest in trying to get big brained mammals to do what we say, we tend to measure their intelligence by an ability to understand us, rather than measure our intelligence by an ability to understand them. Since we can't meaningfully communicate with any other species on earth, not even those genetically closest to us, how audacious of us to think we can converse at all with intelligent alien life upon first meeting them?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization

James Goodhand
“People who pursue money are those with nothing better to pursue.”
James Goodhand, The Day Tripper

“If humans can do the worst acts, we can also do the best.”
Danica Davidson, I Will Protect You: A True Story of Twins Who Survived Auschwitz

John Marrs
“What we are never changes, Tommy, it read, but who we are never stops changing. Remember me better than I am. Jake.”
John Marrs, The Vacation

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Daily life in 1960 would be unrecognizable to anyone transported from the year 1930. From 1960 to 1990, a Cold War nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union threatens the survival of civilization. Though begun in the 1950s, the US stockpile of nuclear warheads peaks in the 1960s, with the Soviets’ stockpile peaking in the 1980s.11 The Berlin Wall, erected in 1962, becomes the greatest symbol of Winston Churchill’s “Iron Curtain,” separating Eastern from Western Europe. Yet it’s dismantled by 1989, as peace breaks out in Europe. The commercialization of the transistor allows consumer electronics to miniaturize, transforming audiovisual equipment from heavy, floor-mounted living room furniture to what you carry in your pocket.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization
