Looking for On-Topic Quotes...

I'm looking for quotes about astrophysics, space, life, interesting facts about the universe, etc. I'd like to find a place with many quotes on these topics all in one place, if possible.

Can anyone help?

We have a "Quotes" thread here which we are hoping to turn into a regular feature (ie, display quotes at the top of the forums).

But we can't claim to have a good list of quotes organized by the different branches of science...

Are you feeling clean and wholesome? Science has the cure!
Thermodynamics proposes, kinetics disposes.
The nature of physical reality is not heir to political manipulation.
Second on the food chain is dead.
Pavlov made do with a dog; Schroedinger required a cat.
Progress is the victory of laughter over dogma.
The world has more money than good ideas. It is the purpose of government to minimize both.
The future will be like the past - only more so, faster, and completely different.
Infinity gets interesting toward the end.

Yeah I've checked that thread out...it's pretty good. I'm looking for a place to read quotes from scientists on the topics mentioned. For example, Kaku has GREAT quotes. If there were only a place to find his quotes and others' in his field all in one place.
