Seventy percent of Earth's surface is water and over 99 percent is uninhabited, so you would expect nearly all impactors to hit either the ocean or desolate regions on Earth's surface. So why do movie meteors have such good aim?

Neil deGrasse Tyson

I feel we are so blessed to live in a country where we enjoy so many rights that other countries cannot even begin to imagine. However, it terrifies me that we seem to have lost touch with our connection to the earth. I am concerned that we have risen to such heights of arrogance in our refusal to acknowledge that our earth is rapidly changing in ways that might affect us catastrophically but instead, we hold steadfast to our belief that nothing can happen to us as a people.

Sheryl Crow

What incredible arrogance to believe that we limited human beings can destroy that which we cannot even begin to understand - much less create on our own - and that is earth and all of its glories.

Rush Limbaugh

I am not against standardized tests. There are tests and tests and tests, and, to simplify, the ones I favor are criterion-referenced tests of skills, aligned with the curriculum. Social and emotional skills are important but skills are too. I find it heartbreaking that this is so often seen as an either-or choice. To get to the richness of studying literature, for example, you must first be an adept and confident reader. Whether you are is something a good test can measure.

Nicholas Lemann

There's such a huge world out there; I haven't even begun to scratch the surface.

Michelle Ryan

As the thought comes to me to exorcise and transform this black with a white drawing, it has already become a surface.. .Now I have lost all fear, and begin to draw on the black surface.

Hans Arp

A great rock is not disturbed by the wind; the mind of a wise man is not disturbed by either honor or abuse.

Dalai Lama

I have not been able in one lecture even to scratch the surface of the role of maximum principles in analytic economics.

Paul Samuelson

Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience.

Randolph Bourne

I thought: hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made.

Lu Xun

Balance is the perfect state of still water. Let that be our model. It remains quiet within and is not disturbed on the surface.

Confucius

You could spend your life trying to uncover all the treasures in New Orleans and not even scratch the surface. It's such an amazing place.

Blake Lively

I think the things that excite other people don't even scratch the surface for me. I need much more to feel the adrenaline and the thrill.

Julia Fox

I just spent the last 8 months working on the second edition of 'Mastering Bitcoin,' and I couldn't even scratch the surface of all the innovation that is happening in BTC.

Andreas Antonopoulos

People don't even understand that every bit of our food was once alive. We take another creature, plant, animal, microorganism, tear it apart in our mouths. And incorporate those molecules into our own bodies. We are the Earth in the most profound way.

David Suzuki

Nothing which consists of corporeal matter is absolutely light, but that is comparatively lighter which is rarer, either by its own nature, or by accidental heat. And it is not to be thought that light bodies are escaping to the surface of the universe while they are carried upwards, or that they are not attracted by the earth. They are attracted, but in a less degree, and so are driven outwards by the heavy bodies; which being done, they stop, and are kept by the earth in their own place.

Johannes Kepler
