Words matter. These are the best Galaxy Quotes from famous people such as T. J. Miller, Seth Shostak, Priyamvada Natarajan, Martin Rees, Kalpana Chawla, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ is tongue-in-cheek and has a sense of humor about itself. But it’s nothing like ‘Deadpool.’ ‘Deadpool’ is this super-bizarre thing. The best thing about it is that it’s R-rated.
The bottom line is, like, one in five stars has at least one planet where life might spring up. That’s a fantastically large percentage. That means in our galaxy, there’s on the order of tens of billions of Earth-like worlds.
Evidence has been mounting for the key role that black holes play in the process of galaxy formation. But it now appears that they are likely the prima donnas of this space opera.
There are lots of ideas which extend the Copernican principle one step further. We went from the solar system to the galaxy to zillions of galaxies and now to realising even that isn’t all there is.
When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from any particular piece of land, but from the solar system.
Rock and ambient music might as well reside on opposite sides of the galaxy, so it’s almost shocking when a band like Deerhunter melds the two so effectively.
I was very affected as a foreigner coming from Copenhagen, which is the safest, most liberal town in the entire galaxy. I was like an alien stranded in a strange land for the first time in the U.S.
However alert we are, antiquity remains an unknown, unanticipated galaxy.
I don’t want to be the embarrassment of the galaxy to have had the power to deflect an asteroid, and then not and end up going extinct. We’d be the laughingstock of the aliens of the cosmos if that were the case.
I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight. It’s a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’
As you’ll find in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2,’ I’m not actually a space alien.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is one of 50 or 100 billion other galaxies in the universe. And with every step, every window that modern astrophysics has opened to our mind, the person who wants to feel like they’re the center of everything ends up shrinking.
I’ve tried plenty of telephones. I tried to get into the Samsung Galaxy and the Blackberry, but the iPhone is just too easy to use. The camera takes clear pictures and the phone itself looks great. Like all Apple products, it kind of just makes sense.
Writing ‘William Shakespeare’s Star Wars’ was a fun exercise in mixing just the right amount of the Bard with just the right amount of everyone’s favorite galaxy far, far away.
The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That’s a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity to believe it’s all bleakly barren.
I used to audition like crazy – I would go on a hundred before I got anything. It took me a long time to get any jobs at all. It was hard until I booked ‘Galaxy Quest,’ and then it started to get easier.
I wrote a 20-page document, before I was ever hired, on exactly how the visuals of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ would be approached, how we’d look at creating a new type of space epic. That’s exactly what the movie is today – absolutely everybody has adhered to that original document.
Lionel Messi is not human. He is from another galaxy.
The truth is we were never considered for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ It was misprinted. I think there was another directing team that had been considered.
Everybody is their own galaxy, their own separate entity.
‘Galaxy Quest’ is a fantastic film.
One of the big mysteries about the black hole at the center of the galaxy is, ‘Why don’t we see emission from matter falling onto the black hole, or, rather, the black hole eating up its surroundings?’
People are always saying it’s the end of the Gutenberg era. More to the point, it’s a return to an oral era. The Gutenberg galaxy was about the written word. At its best, the digital era is part of the rediscovery of the oral. At its worst, it’s a Kafkaesque victory of the bureaucratic over the imagination.
‘Galaxy Quest’ was cool to work on. When I first signed on, I really didn’t know anything about it. I read the script, which I though was cool, but it wasn’t until I saw the designs for the CG stuff that I knew it was going to be pretty sweet.
I have the infinite galaxy from ‘2001’ as my screensaver – so if I space out while I’m writing and it goes to screensaver, I can just stare off into the stars.
Older people say, ‘Oh I loved you in ‘Sense and Sensibility,’ and that’s the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about ‘Galaxy Quest.’ And there’s a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about ‘Dogma.’
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
The spiral in a snail’s shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it’s also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It’s the same ratio that you’ll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.
Our galaxy’s pretty ordinary, garden-variety. So if we believe our galaxy has a super massive black hole, that tells us that most, if not all, galaxies host such a black hole at their centers.
By having Spider-Man exist in the same universe as the Guardians of the Galaxy… C’mon, that opens up so many possibilities!
The making of documentaries for ‘Humanoids From The Deep,’ ‘Galaxy Of Terror’ and ‘Forbidden World’ are absolutely fascinating.
I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there’s no compromising.
My favorite galaxy of all is called the Sombrero, NGC 4594. It’s an amazing galaxy that is really two galaxies in one.
Every time you log in to Facebook, every time you click on your News Feed, every time you Like a photo, every time you send anything via Messenger, you add another data point to the galaxy they already have regarding you and your behavior.
One of the things that I really admire about the Marvel motion pictures is that, in one year, ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier,’ which was a taut political thriller, and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ which was a cosmic comedy, came out, and they could not be more different, and yet they both felt very Marvel.
Everything dies, from the smallest blade of grass to the biggest galaxy.
My best season at New England was probably my first in charge. We reached the final of the Major League Soccer Cup in 2002, losing in extra time against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Even though ‘Star Wars’ takes place in another galaxy, a lot of the themes and things that characters deal with in terms of lessons that they’re learning are things that are completely relatable to real life.
Are we the only members of the Galaxy that can actually understand what a galaxy is? Could Homo sapiens really be the pinnacle of Creation – the cleverest critters in the cosmos? If we learn the answer is ‘no,’ that would affect our philosophies forever.
The central region of the Milky Way, known as the bulge, is stuffed with literally tens of billions of stars. And most of these are old – considerably older than our Sun or its neighbors – because this part of the galaxy formed first. Consequently, bulge stars are generally deficient in heavy elements.
I’m interested in finding whether or not there is a really massive, what we like to call ‘super massive’ black hole at the center of our galaxy. And the reason this is interesting is that it gives us an opportunity to prove whether or not these exotic objects really exist.
Keep up the good work, if only for a while, if only for the twinkling of a tiny galaxy.
Earlier generations of stars in the galaxy could well have had planets. But really, there was only hydrogen and helium to work with, so they’d all be gas giants and not small, rocky planets.
Thanos is undoubtedly the most powerful entity and villain the world has ever seen – he is virtually indestructible. Imagine a villain so menacing that all the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and their allies have to come together in a hope to defeat this one guy; such characters come to you once in a lifetime!
Clearly, unless thinking beings inevitably wipe themselves out soon after developing technology, extraterrestrial intelligence could often be millions or billions of years in advance of us. We’re the galaxy’s noodling newbies.
We’re electrical items and when we die the electricity goes somewhere else. When we die our energy goes into the galaxy.
It’s either ‘Saw’ made for $4 million or ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ et cetera being made for $150 million. So the $30 and $40 million films don’t get made unless they’re maybe ‘Ride Along.’ But I don’t really know why. I don’t get paid to know why.
We are creatures of the earth and live on this planet through the powers of the sun and moon and through all facets of nature so I want our odyssey to the ‘Metal Galaxy’ to be one that we constantly appreciate how much we are able to travel the world through the power of music.
