• Look back to the cross, and the disciples gazing on it in terror from afar, and then look around on the nations that are influenced by the faith that there centres - and note the change! Then take these elements, established in history, and calculate the orbit Christianity is to fill.

• Era un genio absoluto como actriz cómica, con un sentido extraordinario para el diálogo cómico. Era un don divino. Créanme, en los últimos quince años me llegaron diez proyectos, empecé a trabajar en ellos y pensé: 'No va a funcionar, necesita Marilyn Monroe'. Nadie más está en esa órbita; todos los demás están atados a la tierra en comparación.

• Renormalization is just a stop-gap procedure. There must be some fundamental change in our ideas, probably a change just as fundamental as the passage from Bohr's orbit theory to quantum mechanics. When you get a number turning out to be infinite which ought to be finite, you should admit that there is something wrong with your equations, and not hope that you can get a good theory just by doctoring up that number.

• The dead spacecraft in orbit have become a permanent fixture around our planet, not unlike the rings of Saturn. They will be the longest-lasting artifacts of human civilization, quietly circling Earth until the Sun turns into a Red Giant, about five billion years from now.

• Not everyone can be an astronaut and go into space, some people with sufficient resources can purchase and fly sub-orbitally thanks to various companies and for more money (considerably) fly into orbit.

• I think a colony in space will take much longer than sci fiction writers think. It costs $10,000 to put a pound of anything into near earth orbit. That is your weight in gold. It costs about $100,000 a pound to put you on the moon. And it costs $1,000,000 a pound to put you on Mars.

• I love the necessary ambiguity of short stories - there simply isn't time to render every detail, so much of the story that orbits the literal prose must happen in the reader's imagination. Who knows, maybe the dwindling attention spans means a lucrative future for short story writers.

• Durante los últimos años, y culminando con seis meses en órbita el año que viene, me he estado entrenando para mi tercer vuelo espacial. Este es casi de una categoría completamente distinta a los dos anteriores, concretamente para vivir en la estación espacial durante seis meses, comandar una nave espacial y pilotar un nuevo cohete espacial.

• Going into orbit around Earth - where the space station is today, and where the space shuttles and John Glenn and all those folks go-that's three-eighths of an inch above a schoolroom globe, just FYI. That's not very far from Earth. Yes, you are off Earth, but you're not really going anywhere yet. The moon was the only real destination.

• Creo que cada partícula de polvo que baila en el rayo de sol no se mueve ni un átomo más o menos de lo que Dios desea - que cada partícula de rocío que choca contra el barco de vapor tiene su órbita, así como el sol en los cielos - que la paja de la mano del aventador es dirigida como las estrellas en su curso. El avance de un pulgón sobre el rosal está tan fijado como la marcha de una peste devastadora; la caída de las hojas de un álamo está tan ordenada como la caída de una avalancha.

• It's not easy to get human beings into orbit. So far only three nations have been able to do that, with all the resources that they put together. And I'm just a little skeptical that that's going to be done by the private sector without making use of what has been done by the government.

• Contemple, pues, el hombre la naturaleza en toda su excelsa majestad, y aparte sus ojos de los mezquinos objetos que le rodean. Que contemple la luz deslumbrante que se eleva como una lámpara eterna para iluminar el universo; que contemple la tierra, un mero punto comparado con el vasto circuito que describe ese orbe, y que se asombre al descubrir que el vasto circuito en sí mismo no es más que un punto muy fino comparado con la órbita trazada por las estrellas mientras ruedan su curso en lo alto.
