"I'm not worried about kids. I'm worried about grown-ups, okay?

These are the ones who vote. 

These are the ones who tell you, "The world is coming to an end in 2012." Kids don't say that, grown-ups do. 

I'm worried about grown-ups who say, "Read my horoscope! Tell me whether I'll find money tomorrow!" Grown-ups say this, not children. 

Children are perfectly happy counting through 13. Children are not afraid to walk under ladders. 

They see a black cat cross their path, they say "ooh, little kitty kitty!" They want to pet it, not run in the other direction. 

Children are not the problem here."

-Neil deGrasse Tyson
