"To make any future that we dreamt up real requires creative scientists, engineers, and technologists to make it happen.

"Don't waste our children's future on man's past."
"Trying to see the face of the future? Know ye not that the future has infinite faces?"
"However much things have been said in the past, there will be always something new to be said in the future!"
"Since many things we see were once an idea, let us create good ideas today because they will be the realities of tomorrow! When you create an idea, do not forget that you shape the future! Idea is your God side! With ideas, you can change the universe, but only with very great ideas!"
"Since the future is unknown, nobody can really know where he is going! When asked, tell them you know not where you are going! You can only say where you wish to go!"

"While the Copernican principle comes with no guarantees that it will forever guide us to cosmic truths, it's worked quite well so far: not only is Earth not in the center of the solar system, but the solar system is not in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy is not in the center of the universe, and it may come to pass that our universe is just one of many that comprise a multiverse. And in case you're one of those people who thinks that the edge may be a special place, we are not at the edge of anything either."
"Passion is what gets you through the hardest times that might otherwise make strong men weak, or make you give up."

Among the biomarkers in Earth's atmosphere are ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol sprays, vapor from mineral solvents, escaped coolants from refrigerators and air conditioners, and smog from the burning of fossil fuels. No other way to read that list: sure signs of the absence of intelligence."
"Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not."
