All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.Honoré de Balzac
In science, if you don't do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn't compose the 'Ninth Symphony,' no one else before or after is going to compose the 'Ninth Symphony' that he composed; no one else is going to paint 'Starry Night' by van Gogh.Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.Neil deGrasse Tyson
