Space Quotes!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I am in need of a collection of quotes that relate in some way to space. Rules:

  • Gotta be tweet-length or shorter. No paragraph-long quotes.
  • Nothing too offensive. Mild swears only.
  • Anything from books to video games to real life are acceptable.
  • Niche is good, but not too niche. The quote should be familiar to anyone that knows the material.
  • Cliche is fine. This isn’t for something of deep importance.
  • I don’t want your top 100 quotes from movie X. Pick the best.

Some examples:

  • My god, it’s full of stars.
  • I aim at the stars, but sometimes I hit London.
  • If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
  • Live long and prosper.
  • I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
  • Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space.
  • SPAAAAAACE!
  • You must construct additional pylons.
  • Do a barrel roll!

Thanks in advance.
