Pluto's orbit is so elongated that it crosses the orbit of another planet. Now that's... you've got no business doing that if you want to call yourself a planet. Come on, now! There's something especially transgressive about that. Neil deGrasse Tyson
Pluto is so unlike any planet we've ever visited. It's this strange little duck, sitting out there, this mixture of rock and ice but with an atmosphere. There is so much to learn about this planet. Bill Gibson

As my colleague, the physical chemist Peter Atkins, puts it, we must be equally agnostic about the theory that there is a teapot in orbrit around the planet Pluto. We can't disprove it. But that doesn't mean the theory that there is a teapot is on level terms with the theory that there isn't. Richard Dawkins
If you slid Pluto to where Earth is right now, heat from the sun would evaporate that ice, and it would grow a tail. Now that's no kind of behavior for a planet. Neil deGrasse Tyson

It's strictly coincidental that Pluto of course was named for the god of the underworld and we're describing these Halloween moons Alan Stern
