Jackson Browne Quotes

We're just one rock surrounded by this immense universe.

The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest.

My biggest love is still planets and stars. If I hadn't become an artist, I'd be an astronomer because I still love it so much.

There must be enormous numbers of planets around the stars in the many galaxies in our observable universe. We may be sure that wonderful things are happening on these planets that the human race never will observe.

The stars associated with the solar system, such as the planets and asteroids (and it should be remembered that the term star in Biblical usage applies to any heavenly body other than the sun and moon) would be particularly likely to be involved, in the view of the heavy concentration of angels, both bad and evil, around the planet Earth.

It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes - and each of these will have its own complement of planets.

I want Carl Sagan to explain the sky to me.

I've known from long ago that the universe was calling me. If you were one of those annoying adults that said, 'Oh, what are you gonna be when you grow up?' I would say, 'Astrophysicist.' And then they'd walk away real quickly.

Of all things visible, the highest is the heaven of the fixed stars.

I am very interested in the Universe - I am specialising in the Universe and all that surrounds it.

When I was a boy, the only thing which captivated me as much as music was the night sky.

I'm obsessed with the moon and space travel, so if I could incorporate that, I'd love to go to space.

In future, children won't perceive the stars as mere twinkling points of light: they'll learn that each is a 'Sun', orbited by planets fully as interesting as those in our Solar system.

People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach.

One of the things I do know is we know very little about our universe. Even though we think we know a lot, and we do know a lot more than we used to, we have a lot to learn about our universe.

There are at least as many galaxies in our observable universe as there are stars in our galaxy.

Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big.

There's a bigger universe at hand.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.

I'm interested in the cosmos. I want to know what's out there and how connected we are.

You see billions and billions of stars and recognize that you know some of those have planets, too, and maybe there's life out there, and this is just one of billions of galaxies... and so it gives you this huge perspective of how far we potentially have to go for real exploration.

I'm not really into sci-fi movies, but I'm into the science of space a lot. I love astronomy and thinking about the nothingness of the everythingness of space.
