I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.
Stephen Hawking

I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.
Stephen Hawking

At times, I get very lonely because people are afraid to talk to me or don't wait for me to write a response. I'm shy and tongue-tied at times. I find it difficult to talk to people who I don't know.

Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking

What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.

We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking

There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.
Stephen Hawking

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If human life were long enough to find the ultimate theory, everything would have been solved by previous generations. Nothing would be left to be discovered.

So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking

My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.
Stephen Hawking

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
