"The author once dreamt that he was a partial derivative!" (pg. vii)
OMG. I am horrified and a little in love.
"Astronomers are haunted by the thought that discoveries are before their eyes but they are too blind to see them." (pg. 7)
O, I see what you did there! ;P But that is a scary thought, isn't it?
"When our ancestors first looked at the sky, it was with blind eyes." (pg. 8)
O, I see what you did there. ...Again.
"..., we are still blind watchers of the sky." (pg. 9)
OK YOU CAN STOP NOW. xP
Well, I'm a bit disappointed. It's not a bad book, but so far it hasn't told me anything new. And since I've taken 2 college courses that concerned cosmology some of it almost sounds like baby talk. (I do believe iron was referred to as "hard to digest" for stars or something like that. I didn't mark down the quote). I do feel like I like the author though, he seems to have a good sense of humor.
