Quote examples
Neil deGrasse Tyson
American Scientist
Cosmos' is an occasion to bring everything that I have, all of my capacity to communicate. We may go to the edge of the universe, but we're going to land right on you: in your heart, in your soul, in your mind. My goal is to have people know that they are participants in this great unfolding cosmic story.
Quote examples
Galen Rowell
American Photographer

Quote examples
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
French Writer
