About This Quote

No," I said simply. "I hate no one. I want only to be left in peace to understand the mysteries of the universe in my own way." These words were spoken by Neil deGrasse Tyson to a group of students at the Bronx High School of Science, and they perfectly encapsulate his beliefs about how humans should use their free time. According to Tyson, we should spend our time pursuing the intellectual and artistic endeavors that interest us, even if it means spending a lot less time with our friends and family. This quote may seem a bit extreme, but Tyson is a man who truly believes in his ideals.
