Space Quotes

Space means something different at every scale.

These space quotes cover a surprising range — screenwriters complaining about crowded cafe tables, a musician resisting being boxed into one sonic style, and an old joke about the outer-space program's tax-dollar value. For more on the physical world, see our Earth quotes.

Quotes by Gerard Pique

Quotes by George Smoot

The discovery and investigation of life on other planets is likely to change many of our ideas about how life arose on the Earth and even what is life and its natural development.

Quotes by George Smoot

You really have to try hard to create space and, at least for a time, stop the political world from rushing in. The important thing is to remain sane.

Quotes by George Osborne

The grim truth is that the rich are able to live as they do only because others are poor: there is neither the physical nor ecological space for everyone to pursue private luxury.

Quotes by George Monbiot

Quotes by Geoffrey S. Fletcher

The Lamb's Club is going to be a luxury bar and grill; we're not doing an overly fancy restaurant. We wanted to make a space that people will come to every day, almost like a very high-end bistro.

Quotes by Geoffrey Zakarian

The ocean is 90% unexplored. It's a great canvas to paint Aquaman stories across, just like Green Lantern has space. It's more organic, which makes it different and interesting. It's alien, but it's terrestrial.

Quotes by Geoff Johns

We are finding new areas in the ocean every day. It's as alien as going to outer space.

Quotes by Geoff Johns

'253' has a little bit of time in it, but basically, everything's happening at once in a small space, and you're exploring the space. 'What happens next?' is not the question that you're asking or answering. It's where do you...

The status quo is presented as something to aspire to, whereas for us, the status quo was something we wanted to shatter in order to create the space for people to choose for themselves.

Quotes by Genesis P-Orridge

Quotes by Genesis P-Orridge

I was the most emotional of the flight directors. Space really got me all honked up.

Quotes by Gene Kranz

Quotes by Gene Kranz
