• Miro al cielo nocturno y sé que sí, que formamos parte de este Universo, que estamos en este Universo, pero quizá más importante que ambos hechos es que el Universo está en nosotros. Cuando reflexiono sobre ese hecho, miro hacia arriba: mucha gente se siente pequeña, porque ellos son pequeños y el Universo es grande, pero yo me siento grande, porque mis átomos proceden de esas estrellas.

• In whatever you choose to do, do it because it's hard, not because it's easy. Math and physics and astrophysics are hard. For every hard thing you accomplish, fewer other people are out there doing the same thing as you. That's what doing something hard means. And in the limit of this, everyone beats a path to your door because you're the only one around who understands the impossible concept or who solves the unsolvable problem.

• In astrophysics, we care about how matter, motion and energy manifest in objects and phenomenon in the universe. Stars are born. They live out their lives. They die. Some of the ones that die explode. Our sun will not be one of those, but it will die. And it'll take Earth with us. So we make sure we have other destinations in mind when that happens. And I've got it on my calendar.

• How then did we come to the "standard model"? And how has it supplanted other theories, like the steady state model? It is a tribute to the essential objectivity of modern astrophysics that this consensus has been brought about, not by shifts in philosophical preference or by the influence of astrophysical mandarins, but by the pressure of empirical data.
