Notable quotes

“Any man that can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.”
— Douglas Adams, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978).
“It's a tough galaxy. If you want to survive, you've gotta know...where your towel is.”
— Douglas Adams and Karey Kirkpatrick, in lines for "Ford Prefect", in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
“You said it yourself, bitch: We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.”
— James Gunn, and Nicole Perlman, in lines for "Peter Quill", after Ronan the Accuser wonders how he and his crew survived holding the energies of an Infinity Stone, in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).
“Within a galaxy are stars and worlds and, it may be, a proliferation of living things and intelligent beings and spacefaring civilizations. But from afar, a galaxy reminds me more of a collection of lovely found objects — seashells, perhaps, or corals, the productions of Nature laboring for aeons in the cosmic ocean.”
— Carl Sagan, in Cosmos (1980), p. 5.
“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.”
— Carl Sagan, in Cosmos (1980), p. 339.
“We have finally established the contours that define the supercluster of galaxies we can call home... This is not unlike finding out for the first time that your hometown is actually part of much larger country that borders other nations.”
— R. Brent Tully, on the discovery of the Laniakea Supercluster as the home of our Milky Way galaxy, as quoted in "Newly Identified Galactic Supercluster Is Home to the Milky Way" in NRAO News (3 September 2014)
