A Quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson

Being at the top of your game intellectually, philosophically, politically, is not a forever thing. — © Neil deGrasse Tyson
Being at the top of your game intellectually, philosophically, politically, is not a forever thing.
We still find, especially in parts of academe, the damaging notion that everything is a struggle for power, or being empowered, or hegemony, or oppression: and that all competition is a zero-sum game. This is not more than repetition of Lenin's destructive doctrine. Intellectually, it is reductionism; politically, it is fanaticism.
I try to figure out - intellectually, philosophically, psychologically - what the experience of beauty is.
It's a great lesson about not being too precious about your writing. You have to try your hardest to be at the top of your game and improve every joke you can until the last possible second, and then you have to let it go. You can't be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it...You have to let people see what you wrote.
Take the level of dedication that anyone had to get to the top in any field, and apply it to self-discovery. Except that when you get to the top of anything else, it washes away. You will die. The only thing that stays with you forever is your awareness.
I called Donald Trump a racist. Nobody that makes that charge is being intellectually honest, or else they're being intellectually lazy.
Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.
The hardest thing in life is reinventing yourself and staying at the top of your game, whilst the hardest thing in football is finding that club you want to stay at.

My daughter is the biggest gift; I've said it so many times and it sounds like a cliche, but the thing about being a parent is when you think you've cracked it, and you're on top of your game, they change again and you have to catch up and adjust. I feel such a responsibility to instill good values in her, to be polite, to have discipline.
The message of Islam asks you to be intellectually, spiritually, socially, and politically independent
Politically, the goal of today’s dominant trend is statism. Philosophically, the goal is the obliteration of reason; psychologically, it is the erosion of ambition.
The most difficult thing for me is keeping yourself focused on what you're doing. As you go play, you try to get your focus and desire. You don't do it to the level you would do it if you wanted to win. You have to work at it and be on top of your game.
The United States survives so long as at least one of its major parties is politically and intellectually healthy.
In the Premier League, the most important thing is not to give the team at the top of the table reasons to keep winning game after game.
Intellectually, as politically, the direction of all true progress is towards greater freedom, and along an endless succession of ideas.
I stand on the black side of issues, philosophically, politically, socially, and for me to not check that box, I felt like, would be some sort of betrayal of not only who I am but also the community I affiliate with.
